Disputing narratives: Romani journalists resisting in Hungary

The Roma people have historically been persecuted throughout the world. In Hungary, despite being the largest minority, they have been subject to segregation and criminalization, with the backdrop of the rising far-right and the normalisation of hate speech.

But the Roma, increasingly organized, are resisting this history of stigmatization. ‪@elsaltotv‬ went to Budapest to tell their stories.

Arno is one of the founders of the Roma Information Center. Marina is an expert in gender studies and a member of the collective of feminist gypsies in Hungary. Violetta is a university professor.
