Macedonian Roma do not know the census results.

The chairman of the Roma Democratic Forces Party, Shaban Saliu, demands that the census be repeated electronically so that the results are objective.

"In 2002, the statistics numbered 53,789 Roma in Macedonia, and 19 years later only 46,433.

The figures are extremely dubious and inaccurate as it turns out that Roma have not had births in recent years, while according to other statistics, it turns out that Roma have the highest birth rate in the country, but according to the census is not so.

"This statistical operation has made a total exodus of Roma", says Saliu.

"We do not know these results from the census, because the figures presented in the census of 2021 do not justify or confirm objectively, accurately and realistically the number of the Roma community," said Shaban Saliu, President of FDR.

According to Saliu, this is another reason why Roma and all citizens should appear before the Government on June 18.

"With the recent shock of prices, rising oil, food, electricity and discrimination, the Roma are already finding it difficult to live, now they can barely survive," said Saliu, whose party supported the OBRM-PDUKM protest for on Saturday.
