Petre-Florin Manole, a Social Democrat, has become minister of labor as part of the small group of new faces in the Romanian government sworn in on June 23, after six months of political crisis. At 41 years old, he is the first Romani person to hold a ministerial post in a country where the Romani minority still faces discrimination.
Aww that’s awesome. It still shocks me just how marginalised the Romani are everywhere, and how quietly it’s just being brushed aside.
