Nothing says "systemic" like being convicted of the same human rights violation four times. Courts orders only matter if a country has basic respect for the rule of law and #Bulgaria is guilty of ignoring its own laws when it comes to evicting Roma. Full story here: www.errc.org/news/repeat-...

The word fascism is sometimes used too loosely these days. But when a state uses its monopoly on violence to treat its own citizens as invaders in their own homes based on ethnicity, it crosses a line.
