Celebrating Gypsys

urday, the Gypsy flag flew over the town hall, the commemo‐ration was postponed as April 8 is Holy Saturday.

The gypsy flag was adopted in 1971 at the first Gypsy Congress which marked the awakening of Roma activism.

The flag consists of blue, the colour of the sky that wel‐comes all people regardless of ethnic origin, green the colour of the freedom of the field and hope whilst the red wheel in the centre establishes that Ro‐mas are a wandering people. create a mosaic effect, and will also feature iron embel‐lishments.

The motto of the people is HOPE and FREEDOM.

The project is expected to take around six months to complete, and the city council hopes that it will become a landmark attraction.
