Light in the darkness

Dear friends,

Today about 1 o’clock p.m. came the crane truck with private police car. The electricity meters by us hang outside the building, high on the street lamp holders. On the crane truck then the electricity technician took care of the coming darkness tonight. 75 percent of the neighbourhood is without electricity. On the streets – shouting, the security takes drastic measures. The children come agitated into the station: “The electricity is down”. The prayer hall by us has electricity, the station – not. That’s why we schould count with a chaos tonight. We will accept our people for the night, the rest will stay in the darkness.

LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS will immediately make an emergency program. The used to the crises gypsies accept the situation unconstrained. By the last cut off a technician was paid to reconnect the electricity “blackly”. But this is no solution. Old readers can remember that the situation escalated already in 2007. However at this time we and also the gypries were not prepared for a mediation. After consultation with the Helsinki committee we decided amicable with them to offer again the mediation. Then if E.ON doesn’t answer, there should be found other solutions, which are not so amicable any more. Well, “silent night, holy night”?? No! I will sleep tonight in the prayer room and will arrange there a temporary solution. I leraned from my neighbours that one should stay cool and calm in such situation. Even if  the gypsies are “hot tempered” people, they accept the situation calm.

Kind regards,

Frank Abbas
