Qualitative Info |
Regarding the Roma housing issue, the ECRI in its fourth report on Greece noted that ‘the living conditions of some Roma continue to fall unacceptably below international standards’, while ‘some Roma settlements are in complete isolation from the rest of the population, without running water or electricity and without a sewage system or access to public transport’. As ECRI emphasizes ‘Roma living in those settlements also face at best indifference and at worst hostility (as noted in Aspropyrgos) on the part of some local authorities and non-Roma’. |
