15.04.2008 - Czech minister apologises for statements on Romanies
Stehlikova told Saturday's issue of the regional north Moravian paper that "parents are to blame for Romany children's failure at school as they allow them not to go to classes and send them out to thieve."
Stehlikova told reporters today that she had spoken about concrete Romany families in a concrete municipality and that her words cannot be generalised.
Stehlikova also said in the interview in the local paper that Romanies have no relation to real estate since "they have got what they have too easily."
She said the Romany ethnicity feels no need to work since the state offers an alternative of almost the same financial benefit without work.
