The Dom are not represented in parliament or in any of the political factions or institutions. They do not benefit from the international aid sent to the Palestinian people of Gaza.

Always wandering the globe to feel eternally out of place, finding troubles or creating them, whoever they shared the land with.

It is too bad when the music and the dance are silenced.
specially for gipsies, who are, by definition, THE people of music and dance.
