Romania Walls In Its Roma
The town of Baia Mare has relocated its Roma population to decrepit Communist-era buildings, and walled in their new home.
The Roma are the largest ethnic minority in the European Union. And most live as second class citizens, in abject poverty.
In the Romanian town of Baia Mare, a mayor has come up with a radical solution - he's rehousing families in dilapidated communist-era offices and building a wall that closes them in. This decision is popular with the locals - Catalin Chereches is now one of the the most popular politicians in Romania.
