The moment calls for bold action - securing a future where Roma and other marginalised groups actively contribute to a resilient, democratic Europe, as compellingly urged by Željko Jovanović.
With the United States stepping back from its historic role as a global defender of democracy under Trump, Europe faces a defining choice: defend inclusivity or yield to rising far-right extremism and authoritarianism.
For decades, the transatlantic alliance has bolstered democratic norms across Central and Eastern Europe, regions where over 12 million Roma rely on EU frameworks for protection against systemic exclusion.
Without US' support for democratic norms, Roma protections risk unravelling under ethno-nationalist leaders who utilize disinformation and scapegoating to consolidate power, threatening Europe's democratic architecture.
