As families in Sofia’s Zaharna Fabrika district face homelessness following illegal home demolitions, the Roma Foundation for Europe (RFE) has joined national and international voices in condemning what it calls “a systemic failure rooted in neglect, racism, and a lack of political will—at both national and European levels.”

A POLITICO Live event sponsored by the Roma Foundation for Europe.
