Where are we running to? Where are we running to with slippers on our foods. Yes, we are suffering because the racecourse we run on is full briars. However, we are running under this hard circumstances. But the ones are not running. They drive a top model car. They never suffer. They drive me crazy whenever they boil over with rage such as they suffer just like us. I emphasize that it's time of cooperation and unity. I offer everyone to unite for hindering our people to be homeless. Let's give discussing about social welfare. Let's unite and demand our housing rights! Social welfare are useless if our people live in tents or shanties with fear of eviction. Our duty is to educate our children to be a well-educated, entellectual generation who are able to distinguish right from wrong.
It's possible that some of our friends to dissent. Some of our friend give more importance to social welfare. Some of our friends focus on educational problems. Dear friends, it's meanless to have a social security for someone starving in a tent. It's possible for parents to sent their children to school if they live in tents. How can we educate people living in tents or shanties without water, electricity... On the other hand, we could educate a nice generation in nice neighbourhoods. Then it would be possible to get rid of the scourge of drugs. One of our youths 17 aged started to use drugs 1 year ago. He was using thinner... Then what happened? He died in front of a factory. I was shocked when police officers informed us. We established our associations to save our youth from this scourges and give them a chance for a better life, didn't we? Otherwise do we establish our associations to gain a footing? Let's focus on housing problems again.
Government should extend a helping hand to this kind of people whose daily income is lower than 10 $. Their houses have to be repaired wherever they are now without requesting payment. They have to be given their legal housing licences. Our government is strong enough to overcome these kind of problems. Roma associations and federastions have to introduce these kind of problems and demand a better housing for Roma people. Then our government will surely focus on this problem. Each association have to be in dialogue with their residents about the problems of their neighbourhoods. Decisions maden without consulting people cause our NGOs to divide. We have to organize gatherings in neighbourhoods. We have to give a chance our people to explain their demands in gatherings. Otherwise associations and federations get reaction from people. Let's give up fighting eachother. Let's uniter otherwise we are dividing. If the process continue like this, we will see a Roma neighbourhood to fight with an other Roma neighbourhood. We are dividing! Attention please!
