NEW YORK – Continued discrimination against Roma in Europe not only violates human dignity, but is a major social problem crippling the development of Eastern European countries with large Roma populations. Spain, which has been more successful in dealing with its Roma problem than other countries, can take the lead this month as it assumes the European Union presidency.
纽约 —— 欧洲国家对罗姆人的长期歧视政策不仅违反人类尊严，而且给拥有大量罗姆裔人口的东欧国家造成了严重的社会问题，甚至威胁到东欧国家的发展。西班牙在如何处理罗姆人问题方面比其他国家更为成功，它可以借本月担任欧盟轮值主席的契机在这方面发挥领导作用。
