The COVID 19 crazies
make evident and sharpens the social inequalities in all the fields. Roma
minority that is the object of multiple discrimination and faces multiple
inequalities is on the “First Line” in this regard throughout Europe.
Four main challenges
form everyday reality for Bulgarian Roma in the crisis:
1. Extreme poverty leads
to hunger problems not only among the poorest and marginalized families but
also among many families who managed to overcome sharp poverty and hunger
before the crisis. In almost all of the Roma, neighborhoods can be found now
starving families and their number is increasing. Government institutions have
taken steps to provide food packages. Due to bureaucratic problems, these
measures cannot reach the most marginalized families. In any case, they are not
a sustainable solution to the problem. In many places, the richer Roma help feed
the poorest families or relatives abroad to do it by sending money to save them
from hunger.
