Hungary: Racism and fascism
artdoc April=1995

Romany representative councils established

A bill passed by the Hungarian parliament in September means that
Romany representative councils with consultative status will be
established in each of Hungary's 519 municipal and district
communities. The councils will comprise between 3 and 5 elected
members (depending on the size of the community) and will consult
local authorities on general issues, having the right to veto
measures of specific concern to the Romany. Elections for the
representative councils took place on 11 December (Romnews
15.11.94).

Romany demonstrate against racist attacks in Gyöngyös

The Hungarian Romany parliament called a demonstration on 25
November in Gyöngyös after petrol bombs were thrown into the home
of a Romany family. Although twelve young people were arrested,
the police are denying a racial motive (Romnews No 24, 24.11.94).
