Petre-Florin Manole, a Social Democrat, has become minister of labor as part of the small group of new faces in the Romanian government sworn in on June 23, after six months of political crisis. At 41 years old, he is the first Romani person to hold a ministerial post in a country where the Romani minority still faces discrimination.
They run scams since nobody will give them education or jobs. What else are you sposed to do for money?
There is pretty blatant racism going on against them with people preceiving theit kids as stupid or violent despite romani kids doing even little bit better than majority groups and schools. And well the violence can easily be chalked up to not taking shit from bullies who are preconditioned against them by their parents and society.
Romanis just need a few generations of support.
