Hungary's Mayors Can Reject 'Undesirable' Residents, sparking Discrimination Claims
In Hungary, a new law allows mayors to reject residents they deem 'undesirable', sparking claims of discrimination, particularly against the Roma minority. The far-right mayor of Pilis, Hungary, is one of those who can make this decision.
In Hungary, mayors now have the right to "select" residents of their towns after a new law was passed last summer. The far-right mayor of Pilis, a town of 12,000 inhabitants, is one of them. One former resident of the town, who was forced to leave, explains why he believes the procedure is discriminatory, particularly towards the Roma minority.
