Small far-right party advocates “repatriation” of Romanies to India

A small far-right political group is preparing a document calling for the relocation of the Czech Republic’s Roma population to India, Lidové noviny reported. The National Party have titled the 150-page document “The Final Solution to the Question of Gypsies in the Czech Lands”. The party say they themselves would buy land in India for the “repatriation”. Condemning the proposal, Romany leader Ivan Veselý told the paper his people had been living in this part of the world for 500 years. He said, however, he was not surprised by the use of anti-Romany rhetoric.
