The equal access and enjoyment of social rights and ensuring adequate social protection are key elements of our welfare state.
is essential that public authorities are able to ensure the welfare of all citizens, eliminating inequality and discrimination and promoting participation in public life of all people on equal footing.
To this end, public authorities must intervene with policies that seek
usually overcome the effects of exclusion, discrimination and inequalities among the population. Sometimes with positive measures to help
regulating inclusion and other basic rights of citizenship.
In recent years we have been conducting activities to promote the development and promotion of the Roma population and the results obtained in these years of implementation and development of programs and projects of integral,
have yielded positive results, but remain inadequate.
The Roma population, throughout its history has been subjected to situations of inequality and discrimination, and even today remains one of the most disadvantaged social groups affected by the processes of social exclusion. European Roma citizens are not immigrants in Europe in any case are wandering, culturally speaking.
still a high percentage of Roma families have situations of social risk of fracture resulting from a lack of access to goods and resources provided by our current welfare state, giving rise to policy public to facilitate their full integration into society.
In 1989 he launched the Roma Development Programme, which was an important step for improving the living conditions of Roma, with constant and continuous allocation of resources and the cooperation and participation of all government, as well as financial support to the strengthening of associations of Roma.
In recent years, there has been progress in another key area as is the participation
Roma associations in the public realm,
creation in 2005 of the State Council of Roma, as well as recognition of their culture and the enhancement of their contribution to English culture in general, through the implementation of the Roma Cultural Institute Foundation in 2007.
More recently it has launched the Council for the Promotion of Equal Treatment and Non Discrimination of People by race or ethnic origin, within which are represented two associations defending the interests of the Roma community .
I can not mention the inclusion and the role of Roma women have been playing in recent years in all areas, with their participation each increasingly active in the labor market, in partnership, in education, at the same time they have continued to maintain values \u200b\u200bof Roma culture, such as family togetherness, solidarity, freedom, etc.
All these developments are contributing to improving the social situation of the Roma and their living conditions, but it is necessary to promote new actions to correct the imbalances and advocate for new forms of participation and social development, so the commitment of the Government in the establishment and implementation of the Plan of Action for the Development of Roma, is essential for full integration.
I want to finish, to mention the training, education of children Roma a matter in which all the Government of Spain, the Autonomous Communities, the Catalan government, municipalities and associations of Roma have, we have the political and moral obligation to be united.
If the 80 and appeared with the democratic umbrella schools as a way to help bridge the education of Roma children. Just as parents' awareness of the necessity of class attendance.
In the 90 we opted for the inclusive education in mainstream schools who have produced very good results, to the extent that it is currently enrolled the vast majority of Roma school age is therefore the FSG and the Ministry of Social Policy and Consumer Health has launched the campaign "GYPSIES WITH STUDIES, WITH FUTURE GYPSY "with a clear goal, that children older Gypsies can decide what you want to be.
