In its government program, the Turquoise Green government has set itself the goal of strengthening minority rights. The joy among ethnic group representatives was great.

Yenish remind us of the history of persecution
The history of the Yenish people is marked by exclusion and persecution, but also by the development of a special language and cultural diversity. Jenische in Austria now want to create more awareness of this history with a new virtual archive. The archive is intended to document the times of persecution under the Nazi regime, child abduction and forced sterilization, but also provide insight into the culture of the Yenish people and their fight for recognition as an ethnic group.
