Press release representing the viewpoint of the Romanian-Swedish Cultural Association "Frăţia"
Noting the emergence, more often lately, in the media in Sweden and Romania, of information which refer to some Romanian citizens of various nationalities, practicing beggary in Sweden, Romanian-Swedish Cultural Association "Frăţia" identified the need to express their views on this subject, considering that the said statements must be treated individually on a case by case, avoiding, as we think it is normal, avoiding confusion between all Romanians and begging - considered a crime in Romania and prosecuted by the Criminal Code - or networking Romanians as a nation, with other phenomena associated with begging.
Romanian-Swedish Cultural Association "Frăţia" emphasizes the need for individual efforts, institutional and from journalists, those who disseminate public information, in order to avoid such confusion could harm the image, dignity and interests of honest Romanians, integrated into Swedish society. Groups of beggars and vagrants were usually perceived as groups of criminals, matter which has no connection with ideas, values and behavior of most Romanians.
Romanian-Swedish Cultural Association "Frăţia" calls on all Romanians in Stockholm and throughout Scandinavia, and the media in Sweden and Romania, Romanian and Swedish institutions have the appropriate tools, to contribute in the spirit of respecting truth, to promote and defend an accurate image, the real core traditional values of the Romanian people.
Romanian-Swedish Cultural Association "Frăţia" considered important in this context be emphasized that the history and values of Romanians and their ancestors provides stable, with great sacrifices by at least 2,000 years, priceless treasures, for the European and world civilization.
Knowledge of the latter is, according to Romanian-Swedish Cultural Association "Frăţia" , a priority and represents a measure of accuracy and normality when referring to Romanian generally, to avoid any confusion.
Romanian-Swedish Cultural Association "Frăţia"considers important be known that never in its history so far, the Romanian people has experienced collective migration, being strongly attached to places where they were born, lived and sacrificed themselves for generations, keeping the identity and Latinity of Romanian language in a geographical area located at the crossroads of great empires interests and where Romanians have received and accepted to live with other nationalities that history has placed in Romanian space.
Reality that many Romanians currently working in Europe and worldwide, is the result of difficult, sometimes painful transitions towards new political-economic realities that are specific to XXI century but also an opportunity for most of them to demonstrate quality and value they can provide.
Industriousness, spirituality, culture, intelligence, innovation, altruism, courage, are traditional features of Romanians who have demonstrated these characteristics over time.
Viewpoint of the Romanian-Swedish Cultural Association "Frăţia" is that geniuses are representative of the Romanian people Romanian, not some individuals practicing occupations considered shameful, degrading, in the tradition and collective perception of Romanians.
