A/HRC/20/33/Add.1 of great concern. During the mission the Special Rapporteur visited a primary school in Ózd where the vast majority of children were Roma. He also met with three generations of Roma who have not been to school. Furthermore, some of the interlocutors of the Special Rapporteur reported a decline in the quality of education in regions inhabited by Roma and the placement of Roma children in special schools. While the authorities reported during the mission that five more years were needed to eliminate segregation in the area of education, the Special Rapporteur strongly reiterates his call to the Government to urgently reinvigorate the education of Roma with all the necessary resources. (d) Housing and health 39. During the mission the Special Rapporteur met with Roma families living in public social housing lacking basic services and infrastructure, including running water and electricity, in a segregated area in Ózd. The Special Rapporteur was informed that some housing programmes have been developed, some of which as part of the Decade of Roma Inclusion Program Strategic Plan. They include for instance the “Housing and Social Integration Programme for Residents of Roma settlements” implemented in 30 municipalities, and the setting up of 160 anti-segregation plans to address the segregation of Roma in the area of housing. The Special Rapporteur welcomes such initiatives but, with regard to housing, remains concerned at the continuing discrimination, segregation and substandard living conditions of Roma and reports of forced evictions of Roma. In addition, while the health system was reformed in 2006, a supervisory authority set up to receive complaints in case of infringement of the rights of patients, and several programmes elaborated by the authorities to raise awareness among medical staff of the specific situation of Roma, the Roma minority continue to face discrimination in the access to health care and services and have a lower life expectancy rate. (e) Political participation 40. Although there are four Roma in the current Hungarian Parliament, in general Roma are still widely excluded from public and political life in Hungary. In this regard the Government highlighted the programmes set up to ensure the presence of Roma in the administration, the important role of the national Roma self-government, and the political organization of Roma through various associations, including the Longo Drom. However civil society interlocutors expressed concerns about the fact that both the Longo Drom and the current National Roma Self-Government are led by a member of the ruling FideszHungarian Civic Union (Fidesz) party, which raises the issue of the real autonomy of the National Roma Self-Government and the effective empowerment of the Roma minority in general. (f) Racial violence 41. Roma in Hungary remain subject to increased violence, which is particularly alarming. Several interlocutors reported racist attacks and hate crimes committed against Roma individuals, which have resulted in some cases in their houses being burnt, and injuries to and deaths of Roma individuals. Furthermore some interlocutors highlighted that for fear of further stigmatization and violence some Roma refuse to report incidents to the police. The low level of prosecution and sanctions in cases concerning Roma victims, which fosters impunity, is also of concern. C. Anti-Semitism 42. As stated earlier there are an estimated 100,000 Jews in Hungary. The Jews are not recognized as an ethnic or national minority despite several initiatives to obtain such 13
