Piero FASSINO: Combat every type of discrimination against Roma

Congress

“We must not forget the Roma Holocaust and we have to transmit to the new generations its memory: About hundreds of thousands innocents victims - a concrete aim to counter. Today  racism, intolerance and vindictive impulses make the situation in Europe more serious”, stated Piero Fassino, President of the Socialist group of the Congress on European Roma Holocaust Memorial Day (2 August).

“For this reason it is important that Mayors of all European cities subscribe the Declaration against Anti-Gypsyism and apply contrast polices to each type of discrimination against Roma communities” said Fassino.
