00:00Our democracies are built on a basic promise
00:04Equal rights for all citizens
00:07It shouldn't matter what you look like, what language you speak
00:11And what surname you have
00:15Democracies must deliver for all of us
00:19We know this isn't always the case
00:23For too many of the 6 million Roma Europeans
00:26These equal rights are not fully granted
00:31Roma people still struggle
00:33When they look for a job or for an apartment
00:37It was sad to see that many Roma people
00:40Fleeing Ukraine face difficulties and discrimination
00:44When they crossed into our union
00:48Roma in Europe are still confronted with insults
00:52And slurs in the streets
00:54In the media
00:56And too often even in political discourse
01:00This must change
01:03And it can change
01:05And this is why in 2020
01:07We put forward a new EU-ROMA strategic framework
01:11For equality, inclusion and participation
01:16And we have seen some positive change happening all across our union
01:21We need to keep Roma rights at the heart of our political agenda
01:25It is for this reason that last January
01:28We took a first assessment of the new national Roma strategies
01:33We highlighted encouraging initiatives and good practices from across Europe
01:38But also the most critical issues where much more work remains to be done
01:44But of course we could look forward to all the new mentors
01:44We are in this pharma
01:44Of course we could be able to see
01:44And finally a few of us
