"Madam President, if we want to obtain results in the Roma strategy, we have to simultaneously improve the educational, employment, healthcare, and housing situation, and combat anti-Romanyism, hate speech, and discrimination against the Roma people. Neither of these can be efficient if we ignore the other.
The Roma strategy of the Commission concentrates only on one side, the social tasks, and even in that respect, it shifts responsibility primarily to the Member States. Unfortunately, it barely mentions the necessity of combating anti-Romanyism, the human rights dimension of the issue. The Commission did not raise its voice when paramilitary groups were threatening the Roma citizens in the Hungarian Gyöngyöspata for weeks, and the Hungarian Government took action only when the tension and the provocation escalated into violence. I fear that if Europe does not show willingness to play a greater role in the improvement of the situation of the Roma people than what was mentioned in the Commission Communication, similar situations will occur again and again. It is not yet too late to make changes. We would like to hear the speech of Commissioner Viviane Reding on these issues."@en1
