All the worse for Malmö’s beggar – Aftonbladet

Society. It is now a year since the large camp for the homeless EU-migrants was demolished in Malmö. But despite the lack of a roof over the head still many left.

– It is very cold at night, ” says Constantin Oprea.

the Number of EU migrants in Malmö has not decreased significantly since the camp was demolished last year. It is estimated they are around 300 pieces in a day. But without the safe haven many felt was a safe place, the situation is difficult.

– They have got it terribly much worse. There is absolutely nowhere to sleep right now so people sleep wherever they find place. It’s all about the parks, bushes and cars, ” says Johanna Nilsson.

She is a member of the social centre, the Counterpoint of all the activists who have been involved in the migrants ‘ situation.

Sleep in the car

Outside the 7-eleven on Kalendergatan in Malmö sitting Constantin Oprea with his pappersmugg. He has been in Sweden for a couple of years, and will as so many others from Romania. Nor does he have a permanent place to sleep. Despite the fact that the temperature has now crept down toward zero.

– I sleep in my car. It is cold, and at night will the police and asks me to run in the road, he says to TT.

According to Johanna Nilsson has also the attitudes against the roma have become increasingly worse.

– They feel runtjagade splits itself into smaller groups to try to be as invisible as possible. It is a hunt of sleep and the heat, ” says Nilsson.

Unsuccessful project

Malmö pay for a day centre where migrants can turn to in order to eat breakfast, take a shower and get a moment of heat. The municipality also sent a delegation to the city in Romania from there, many of the migrants come. But vulnerable members of the roma was nothing the Romanian contacts had little interest in to discuss.

– I feel that there is a certain denial of the issue where, ” says the mayor, Carina Nilsson, TT.

Despite the fact that the city of Malmö does not provide, for example, to more permanent accommodation than the 40 acute beds available during the winter months. Migrants are seen not simply as a municipal responsibility, at the same time as there is an understanding of their situation.

– Below you may get up to 300 dollars a month. And here you can get together a 50-100 sek per day. So it is clear, anyone had chosen 3 000 instead of 300, says Carina Nilsson.

Constantin Oprea is no turning back, the house in Romania is sold. He needed the money. Ideally, he would like to have a job, but the meetings at the employment service have not given anything. To sell the paper in Fact worked nothing on it either.

– There are no buys. Everyone says that they already have the number, despite the fact that it came out the same day, ” he says.

the FACTS

Background: Sorgenfrilägret
