Education is a human right!

Any solution you might think of here cannot come without governments focusing on #socialissues. It is exactly because governments do not do that in the time of predatory transitional capitalism that many people, including Roma, have social issues. I cannot imagine how marginalized people become a "part of solution", without governments dealing with the sources of their marginalization, largely found exactly in the economic way of production focusing on #growth..... The dichotomy Roma elites condone are false. Any #economicpolicy must be #sociallyresponsible or simply it will not be #just, and the states, at least according to their laws, would need to care about that..still, although it is clear that the Balkan states become profit milking machines of the corrupted politicians and businessmen for some time.... I guess one would expect pro-Roma agents to worry about that rather than solving Europan GDP issues.... but there. Seems neoliberal thinking in economic Roma initiatives is the only possible way to go....and that never went well for the marginalized, did it...
