"It is difficult to find the roots of the problematic co-existence between the Roma minority and majority society. A long time ago, someone decided to include the Roma in our lives and the process of integration has been started in our country. The problem does not lie in the idea of the integration but in the small part of this community being willing to integrate. The others do not want to do that, or do not know how to do that," mayor of the town of Chomutov Ivana Řápková (Civic Democratic Party - ODS) said once upon a time. She is on the ODS ballot as a candidate number 2 in Ústí nad Labem in the upcoming parliamentary election.
