15.04.2008 - Czech minister apologises for statements on Romanies
Stehlikova told Saturday's issue of the regional north Moravian paper that "parents are to blame for Romany children's failure at school as they allow them not to go to classes and send them out to thieve."
Stehlikova told reporters today that she had Czechs believe Romanies not to get out of ghettoes soon - poll ...
Czechs want to help create European care for elderly policy ... spoken about concrete Romany families in a concrete municipality and that her words cannot be generalised.
Stehlikova also said in the interview in the local paper that Romanies have no relation to real estate since "they have got what they have too easily."
She said the Romany ethnicity feels no need to work since the state offers an alternative of almost the same financial benefit without work.
The daily Lidove noviny (LN) reported about the interview with Stehlikova today.
LN writes Stehlikova explained that she had pronounced the utterances in "a certain context."
Such negative phenomena exist in the socially excluded Romany localities, but they definitely do not concern all Romanies, Stehlikova said in LN.
