Our founder George Soros recently turned 92 years old. His firsthand experience with ethnic and political intolerance has led to a lifetime of work devoted to democracy, freedom of expression, and respect for human rights. https://t.co/mJRrO6KfJV

On Orbán’s ‘race mixing’ comments, Brussels stays quiet https://t.co/gvDC16t9pe

[Szabolcs Panyi @panyiszabolcs]

We have some sort of condemnation of PM Orbán's 'anti-race mixing' speech from Hungarian Jewish leaders as well as 🇷🇴 politicians (the speech was made in Baile Tusnad, Romania), but still nothing from Western countries - including those who have non-white diplomats in Budapest.🤷‍♂️

So, to sum up the Supreme Court’s week: life begins at conception and ends in a mass shooting.

The U.S. Supreme Court’s overturning Roe v. Wade, which protected the right to abortion, is an assault on women’s rights, human rights, and democracy worldwide. We and our partners will continue to fight for reproductive rights. https://t.co/VFz5EGj3lk

Economic cost of #inequality and #racism #Roma face in Romania is €15 billion in the last decade. Here is why

As part of the REDI-Roma Business Club, we visited the Roma farmers in Arilje who produce Serbian raspberry jam on more than 5ha.
We were impressed by their commitment to sustainable development and social entrepreneurship, as well as the high nutritional value of their product.

For 30 years, Roma civil society has tried to convince the #EU and national governments about #Roma policies. Now the new context demands we focus on political parties?

[Zeljko Jovanovic @jovanovicz]

Why the difference between #Roma and #Gypsy matters in politics in #Europe? If someone wants to show disrespect, they will call you gypsy. Politics upscales personal disrespect to systemic exclusion.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine didn’t come out of the blue. It’s the result of the increasing struggle between two diametrically opposed governance systems: open society and closed society. Watch my remarks from @Davos at 1pm EDT/7pm CEST: https://t.co/PdcK4grLtW

#REDISummit2022 is just around the corner!
The panel will happen within EU Roma Week and will showcase executives and leaders sharing present trends and shaping future directions.

[Michael Roth 🇪🇺🇺🇦🇮🇱🇬🇪 @MiRo_SPD]

Germany and its leadership need to understand once and for all that this is not just "Ukraine's war". We are fighting for ourselves, sure, but we're also fighting for European values and interests. We are fighting for Europe, including 🇩🇪. This needs to be treated as such 1/2

[Szabolcs Panyi @panyiszabolcs]

Only a week after Orbán's landslide election win, Hungary's media authority decides to strip alternative/liberal radio station Tilos Radio of the use of their 90.8 MHz frequency. Tilos hosts, among others, @direkt36's radio show on investigative journalism https://t.co/tC3UWW3s9X

#ontheRoth in #Bukarest. Los ging’s mit einem Treffen mit Roma-Familien, die aus der Ukraine fliehen mussten. Rumänien leistet viel, um Geflüchtete aufzunehmen. Ich habe trotz des furchtbaren Leids so viel Hoffnung+Zuversicht gespürt. Danke für das Gespräch. #StandWithUkraine
