Posted in Concert, Madonna on the September 2, 2009
Fans booed Madonna at her concert in Romania after she spoke out against the discrimination against Gypsies in Eastern Europe. The singer’s rep explains the comments made during the concert saying “Madonna has been touring with a phenomenal troupe of Roma musicians who made her aware of the discrimination toward them in several countries so she felt compelled to make a brief statement.” According to a recent report by the EU Fundamental Rights Agency, almost half of the 12 million Gypsies in Europe have faced discrimination in the last year alone, in situations regarding housing, health care and even education. Kudos to the Queen of Pop for speaking out.
