Life / Gypsies or Roma: European and Polish attitudes towards [87]

As far as I know, "rrom" means "man" in gypsy language. But the name of my country is derived from Rome, the capital of Latin world. Indeed, during the Middle Age, the main part of actual Romania was called Valachia. The term "valach" means Latin, descendent of the Roman colonists who settled here after Roman emperor Traian defeted the Dac king Decebal, in 105-106 AD. In the whole Middle Age we writed our Latin language with the kirillic letters, because there was a strong Slavian influence. A strong reply to this was manifested in the 19 century, when the whole Romanian inteligentsia begun writing with Latin letters and give to the newly united regions Valachia and Moldova the name "Romanian Principates", followed by "Romanian Kingdom". In 1918, Romania Mare (the Big Romania) included Transilvania, Basarabia and Bucovina.

To say nothing about the gypsies (their percentage is higher in Hungary than in Romania), I entered on this forum to find out which it will be the position of Poland in front of this Western blackmail refugees vs money. Will you accept the quotas? Our president - a German Romanian! - disagreed at first the quotas, saying we will receive 1.785 at maximum, but yesterday somehow he let to understand that Romania may be coerced to accept a larger number.

If Romania is a land of gypsies, I wonder why they didn't steal the Polish National Treasure back in 1940, when was sent in Romania preventing to be stolen by the Germans. The Treasure was returned to Poland after the war. I'm Romanian and I met a lot of Polish tourists in the '80, on the Black Sea Coast. I never heard a word about gypsyland.
