Its controversial mayor Ivana Řápková has declared war on the town’s 4,000 or so debtors, most of them members of the Romany minority. After a court banned the town hall from seizing their social benefits to make up for unpaid rents, the mayor took a new tack – ordering a wide-scale confiscation of debtors’ property for unpaid fines. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/4f5197446b1f6808606b2a0aab5e5a67.png?timestamp=1583150525 Mayor of Chomutov takes fresh action against town’s debtors https://english.radio.cz/mayor-chomutov-takes-fresh-action-against-towns-debtors-8581602 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
