Exclusive interview for Euromapress Romeo Franc EU MP
E.R.P. I have been following your speeches on the floor of the European Parliament for a long time and it is obvious that despite the three Roma representatives, only you are the loudest when it comes to the Roma.
What is the reason, do your fellow Roma MPs not listen to the questions of their ethnic group or does it depend on their parent political party which compared to yours they are not as liberal as the Greens whose representative and member you are?
R.F. I think the best answer can come from the other two Roma MEPs. So, in my view this question must be addressed to them. Regarding my activity I can tell you it is the sense of responsibility and care for my people, for those who sent me in the European Parliament. It is a normality that I follow. People put their trust in me and I am doing my best to represent them at this level. On the other hand it is also true that I am part of a very supportive political family, as the Greens are, on the topic, and I can only show my appreciation through my actions. In the end, the success of my actions is not only my success or our community’s success it is also the success of the Greens.
E.R.P. Do you think that your 300 amendments that you submitted to the EU Commission last year are the beginning of the EU national strategy, which from this year to the end of September will set its goals towards the involvement of the member states for the adoption of these goals for whom at least I think you were the initiator of the EU national strategy for improving the life of the Roma and the fight against anti-Romanism?
R.F. The resolution that I have developed was voted by the European Parliament, on 17 September 2020, with a consistent majority, 575 votes in favour. The resolution is asking for an EU Romani Law for Equality, Inclusion Participation and Combating Antigypsyism, for the first time in the history of the EU. On 6th October the EU Commission published its new EU Roma Strategic Framework for the next 10 years, following many of the recommendation of the resolution I had the honour to develop.
E.R.P. Do you even believe that these goals set by the EU will be realized in the Member States of the Union, given that in some countries such as the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria there is some racism against Roma?
R.F. The goals set by the EU could be reachable. They are clear, ambitious and more consistent than the last EU Framework. However the major problem is that they are still part of a soft policy, they are not mandatory for the Member States. So, the Members States have the freedom to implement or not actions to reduce disparities between Romani people and majority population. Unfortunately, we have the experience of the last EU Roma framework which produced only limited or no change in the lives of our people. And, this is because of the lack of binding character of the Framework.
E.R.P. What would be your recommendations if this national strategy of the EU, conditionally speaking, does not pass as you and the EU envisioned to be realized?
R.F. As I mentioned earlier, the resolution was voted and the new EU Roma Framework was adopted last year. In order to make sure the objectives of the Framework will be met by 2030, I am planning to continue the work started with the resolution and to develop a legislative initiative in the European Parliament in order to start the process of having a Law for Romani people that will ensure their Equality, Inclusion and Participation and that will put the fight against antigypsyism, first. On the other hand I strongly believe that the National Strategies for Romani Inclusion of the Member States must have an adequate budget, measureable progress and success indicators and a robust monitoring mechanism to ensure that the money are spent properly and not misused.
