dugg - blindshutter, on 11/06/2007, -0/+1The Roma people are calling themselves "romanians" only abroad. In Romania they are calling themselves 'tigani' or 'rromi'.
They have little to do with Romanians, as they do not share our culture, our values or our way of life. And they're very keen to emphasize that, especially when they marry their 12-year daughters or display their gipsy villas built entirely out of theft and petty crimes.
You have to understand that Romania has done tremendous steps forward to integrate within the EU, and this means 22 million people opening up as a market towards EU products, including italian products. And also to EU laws and respect for them.
However, the most violent and despicable elements of the society chose to flee Romania and to invade the Western countries in search of easy prey.
Blame the Romanian government for this, as they could have prevented this exodus by forbiding those scumbags to exit from the country.
For years we Romanians have been accused of discriminating against tigani. Well, now Europe can see their true face.
Not that all of them are like this. But the vast majority of them look at life only as a way of parasiting other people.
Their problem becomes now Europe's problem, as Romania wasn't able to solve it alone. This is the normal way, as they too belong in Europe, wanted, or not wanted. But it is the hard way, and the hurting one.
EU governments have to find a way to integrate these people (there are some 1.2 million of them) and to educate them - as they have already done with the gipsies from their own countries.
The barbaric act of a single gipsy should therefore stand as a threshold for a new integration policy for this minority, not as a stumbling stone that would lead to closed markets, closed borders and closed countries.
My sympathy goes to all the victims of violence, and especially to Giovanna's family. Alas, this will not remain an isolated event :(
