| Qualitative Info |
Roma are the most affected group since they face severe discrimination when accessing housing in the market, but they also face prejudice and suspicion from local authorities and police authorities. They are frequently kept on the run from municipality to municipality and usual victims of the "not on my back yard" processes. |
