"Mr President, Mr Chastel, I believe that you and the 27 Member States which you now represent as President-in-Office of the Council have every reason to take very clear and swift action, as this is a very difficult situation for Europe. We know that the Roma have been persecuted for centuries, and recent times have revealed shortcomings that Europe cannot afford. If we want to tell other countries to look after their own people, we also need to look after our own people.
Isabel Fonseca is a journalist and writer. She has written a book entitled ‘Bury me standing. I’ve been on my knees all my life’. Mr Chastel, I would appeal to you to appoint, on behalf of the Council and in collaboration with the Commission, a truth commission to investigate what has happened to the Roma throughout European history. I think we need to come to terms with our own history, otherwise we will not be able to move forward in a credible way."@en1
