Talking about Romanì culture in Europe with Livia Jaroka

An interview with Livia Jaroka, the second Romani (but the first Romani woman) ever elected to the European Parliament.

Your father is of Romani ethnicity and your mother is Hungarian. How do these ethnic roots have influenced your political career?

Indeed, my father is of Roma origin and worked as a waiter, whereas my mother is majority Hungarian and worked as a dressmaker. I owe a lot to them and to my grandparents for having provided me such a balanced and inspiring family background that I could dedicate my time to learning and developing.
