For children under 12 years of age, I recommend reading under the supervision of a parent or guardian*

The article discusses two interconnected topics: the Roma issue and euthanasia referendum, which have transitioned from personal and social concerns into politically charged debates. The author, who has lived in Nova Gorica for most of their life and has interacted with Roma communities over decades, reflects on how these issues have become politicized. They argue that discussions around Roma problems and end-of-life care are often shaped by ideological positions rather than objective analysis. Additionally, the author critiques the permissive parenting approach, sharing personal experiences as a teacher and coach where they did not adopt this method and faced criticism for being 'old-fashioned.' The piece connects the challenges of raising children with broader societal issues involving Roma communities.
