The recent European Elections have been hailed as a successful exercise in democracy with a record voter turnout but for the Roma, Europe's largest and most discriminated ethnic minority, the election results were a disappointment. Population figures are uncertain but according to the most quoted estimates, 10-12 million Roma are living in the EU and the candidate countries. They continue to face high levels of discrimination in their daily lives and serious challenges in accessing equal rights and services in housing, education, employment and health care. They are also far from being empowered in their home countries and in the EU. The outgoing European Parliament included four members (out of 705 members) of Roma origin, from Spain, Germany, Hungary and Slovakia, i.e. about 0,5 % of the total. The incoming Parliament, with 720 members, will not include any Roma MEP, according to the Brussels based Roma Foundation for Europe. According to their information, there were three Roma candidates from the Czech Republic, two from Slovakia, three from Hungary and one from Bulgaria but none of them were elected. All of these countries have relatively large Roma minorities. Romania, the country with the largest Roma minority, did apparently not include any Roma candidate in the election lists. Thorsten Schröder, lead communications advisor for the Roma Foundation, cautioned that it is important to note that it is difficult to make assumptions about a candidate's ethnic background if it is not publicly declared. Asked how many Roma MEPs could theoretically have been elected, in proportion to the size of the Roma minority, he replied that there is no straightforward answer to the question because of their fragmented number across EU member states. A cautious estimate, comparing their number with the population in a small country like Denmark (ca 6 million inhabitants) would result in up to 15 MEPs.

To members of the EU: remember that there is election for the european parliament the 6-9th of June depending on your country.

The european parliament is the sector of EU that is elected by and represents the people of the EU. They vote on legislation and have huge power.

I know the EU system can be very confusing but you don’t have to know everything to know which party or MEP you agree with. If you care about Palestine, climate change, the biodiversity collaps, refugees, lgbtq rights, Ukraine, womens rights or any issue really, then this is election is important to you.

Also remember to check out the deadline for letter voting, it’s usually a little earlier.

This was the time when I still lived with an old man named Ron.He took care of me since I was a pup and he had a chicken farm.

This painting was painted by his artistic granddaughter who loved to paint pictures of my so she drew me with all the chicks back then on my "birthday".(They made up a birthday for me bc they first found me in the woods and decided that that day would be my birthday)

I miss you,Uncle Ron💐

IWTV MEP Song Choice

Most of the respondents for the interest check indicated they'd participate with Good Grief by Dessa, and the rest said "maybe," so! Above you'll find the parts I've split the song into so you can ponder which section you'd like to edit. Please see below for information on how I'll be running signups. If you have any questions, DM me or reply to this post!

A form for signups will go live on Thursday (7/4). You'll list your top 3 choices for sections and parts will be assigned on a first-come-first-served basis. I'll be running the signups until all parts are claimed.

All the sections are about 15 seconds with the exceptions of parts 7 (8 seconds) and 14 (~30 seconds, but it's the end of the song with fade out so. yknow). The intro will be edited by me and will include the names of the editors. So, that means we have room in this MEP for 14 people!

The only real requirements wrt to editing or content is that the aspect ratio match that of the show (no square/vertical edits) and that the video is about AMC IWTV. Any ships, character focus, etc are up to individual editors.
