Most Roma in Bulgaria live in extreme poverty, amonh stray dogs and piles of trash. File photo
Residents of the largest on the Balkans Roma quarters "Stolipinovo," in the Bulgarian city of Plovdiv are staging a huge protest rally over deplorable living conditions.
Roma complain of rats, filth, smell from the sewage, while most of the apartment buildings look like they have been bombed – with missing windows and stairs and elevators which have been sold as scrap a long time ago.
The meeting is scheduled for April 28 at 4 pm. Roma are also going to protest against the poor education their children are receiving, with the majority graduating from high school without being able to read and write, and against artificially upped electric bills, they say.
Nearly 60 000 people live in Stolipinovo.
