Representatives of local councils and political parties attended “Gypsy conferences” to address the problems confronting local authorities that were no longer able - or willing - to shoulder the fi nancial burden created by their many destitute Roma inhabitants. The participants discussed what they saw as feasible solutions, such as creating a “Gypsy reservation”, deporting people to an island in the Pacifi c, or creating labour camps for unemployed Roma.
