Hundreds of millions in European Union funds have been used in projects that violate the rights of marginalised communities, a report alleges, citing initiatives such as segregated housing for Roma, residential institutions for children with disabilities and holding centres for asylum seekers.

The report, based on information compiled by eight NGOs from across Europe, looks at 63 projects in six countries. Together these projects are believed to have received more than €1bn in funding from the European Union, laying bare a seemingly “low understanding” of fundamental rights across the bloc, according to one of the authors of the EU-funded report.

    People naturally discriminate. That is 100% normal mammalian behaviour and no amount of legislation can destroy human behavior. Murder and rape have been illegal for a long time and haven’t disappeared. “Marginalised communites” must mean nonEuropeans, nonwhites. The Roma segregate themselves as do most refugees. As for “holdiing centres”, I’ve been hearing of refugees staying in very nice hotels that I could not afford if if was to go to Europe. Who is supposed to pay for all of this?
