Cu doua zile in urma, Departamentul de Stat al SUA a dat publicitatii raportul anual privind respectarea drepturilor omului.
In capitolul referitor la respectarea drepturilor minoritatilor, Raportul pe 2007 prezinta cateva exemple negative de notorietate: Basescu, Tariceanu, Cioroianu, Dancu. Vorba romanului: "Pestele de la cap se-mpute". ---------------------------- Vali "Noble blood is an accident of fortune; noble actions are the chief mark of greatness."

On May 19, suspended president Traian Basescu used the term "stinking gypsy" to describe a television reporter. In answer to a complaint by Romani CRISS, the CNCD decided the president's statement was discriminatory and admonished him. The president lost his appeal of the court's decision. Romani CRISS filed similar complaints against Social Democrat parliamentarian Vasile Dancu, who, on June 18, pointed to the "difference between Social Democracy and Gypsy-like attitudes," and Prime Minister Calin Popescu Tariceanu, whose comments reportedly associated Roma with criminality on July 2. On July 17, the CNCD decided that the prime minister's statement was not a discriminatory act but Romani CRISS appealed the decision. A decision was pending in Dancu's case. On November 2, Foreign Minister Adrian Cioroianu stated on television, with reference to some Roma who committed crimes abroad, that the government "should buy land in the Egyptian desert to place there those who embarrass us." Nine NGOs demanded Ciroianu's resignation, the CNCD issued a statement condemning his statement, and Romani CRISS filed a complaint with the CNCD. On November 15, the CNCD decided it could not rule on the complaint because it had already adopted a position on the case when it publicly blamed Cioroianu." [...] (c) USA.gov
