Bulgaria takes 7 of Roma girl"s brothers and sisters into care

Bulgarian Roma Sasha Ruseva (L), 35, holds her daughter next to her husband Atanas, 37, in front of their house in the town of Nikolaevo, some 280km (173miles) east of Sofia October 24, 2013.

SOFIA | Wed Oct 30, 2013 11:04am EDT





SOFIA (Reuters) – Bulgarian authorities said on Wednesday they would take into care most of the brothers and sisters of Maria, the four-year-old whose discovery in neighboring Greece captured global attention.




DNA tests have confirmed that Sasha Ruseva, 35, is the biological mother of Maria, whose blue eyes and blonde hair aroused the suspicions of Greek police when they raided a Roma camp this month.




Ruseva and her husband, both Bulgarian Roma, have nine other children aged between 2 and 20 and live in deep poverty, occupying one room in a crumbling house in the town of Nikolaevo, 280 km (170 miles) east of Sofia.




TV footage that showed the children in shabby clothes sleeping on a mud floor and speaking little Bulgarian caused public outrage.




“We decided to accommodate four of the kids with foster families,” Diana Kaneva, head of the agency for social assistance in the area, told Reuters on Wednesday.




“Two children will be sent to a state institution and one will be placed with relatives of the family,” she said, adding that the measures were temporary and contacts between children and their parents would be encouraged by the social workers.




Two other children are over 18 and not subject to state protection.




Maria, dubbed “the blonde angel” by Greek media, is now in the care of the Athens-based charity Smile of the Child.




On Tuesday, Bulgarian authorities said they would take steps to bring her back to the Balkan country.




Ruseva, who said she left Maria as a seven-month-old baby with another couple in Greece because she was too poor to care for her, has also said she would like to take her back.




Both parents are jobless and live on welfare payments. Ruseva is under investigation over whether she was paid for handing over her child, which she denies. The couple in Greece have been charged there with abducting a minor and detained.




The case has illustrated the plight of Roma gypsies in Bulgaria, the European Union’s poorest member state. Many spend their lives close to destitution, illiterate and on the fringes of society.

The Koch Brothers Are Waging War Against the Poor

Charles Koch thinks he has the solution to America’s income inequality problem, and what a large problem it is.

We have the most unequal distribution of wealth and income in this country since the 1920′s.

Right now, the wealthiest 400 Americans own more wealth than the entire bottom-half of the country, and the six heirs to the great Wal-Mart fortune own more wealth than the bottom 30 percent of Americans.

The top 1 percent of Americans own 40 percent of the entire nation’s wealth, while the bottom 60 percent owns less than 2 percent, and the bottom 40 percent of all Americans own just .3 percent of the nation’s wealth.

Since 1979, after-tax income for the top 1% of Americans is up 281%, while it’s only up 16% and 25% for the bottom-fifth and middle-fifth of Americans respectively.

And, according to the Economic Policy Institute, CEO pay spiked 725 percent between 1978 and 2011, while worker pay rose just 5.7 percent during the same time.

It’s clear that income inequality is a major problem in America, and that something needs to be done right now to fix it.

That’s where Koch comes in.

The conservative mogul who is worth over $ 43 billion says that eliminating the minimum wage is a solution to America’s poverty woes.

On Wednesday, the Charles Koch Foundation launched a $ 200,000 media blitz in Wichita, Kansas, Koch’s home state, saying that the minimum wage is THE major obstacle to economic growth in America.

There is no credible information or data that backs up Koch’s claims that the minimum wage impedes economic growth, and that doing away with it would solve any of our problems.

In fact, the data says otherwise.

In a letter released by the Chicago Federal Reserve, Economists Daniel Aaronson and Eric French show that raising the federal minimum wage by $ 1.75 to $ 9 an hour would increase household spending by around $ 48 billion the next year, and everybody knows that economies are driven by demand, also known as consumer spending.

The fact is that doing away with the minimum wage will do absolutely nothing to reduce the extraordinary levels of poverty and income inequality in this country. So what will?

First, contrary to what Republicans in Washington love to argue, we need to strengthen and expand social safety net programs, not do away with them.

Americans who are living on the edge need some bootstraps to pull themselves up by.

Programs like Medicaid and food stamps are essential because they provide those bootstraps and help them get back on their feet.

Next, we must invest more into education, so young people can succeed when they enter the workplace.

Right now, the United States ranks 17th in the world among developed countries when it comes to overall education, and 25th in math and science. That sucks.

We also need to take on the loopholes that make our tax system favor the rich, and roll back the Reagan tax cuts.

America’s wealthiest citizens must pay their fair share, and do their part to support the American economy, rather than just living off the backs of the working class.

We also need to take an axe to all the corporate loopholes in our tax code, put there by lobbyists and corporate shills in Congress.

To make this work, this nation’s trade policies have to change.

No more so-called free trade deals like NAFTA, CAFTA, SHAFTA and the Trans Pacific Partnership agreement. Giant transnational corporations should not have the right or the power to move our jobs overseas, and it’s insane that our tax code is encouraging them to do that.

Finally, any company whose business model depends on screwing their workers with pay that is so low that those workers qualify for food stamps and Medicaid should be put out of business.

If we just set the minimum wage to what it was in 1968, $ 10.25 in today’s dollars, we begin the process rebuilding our middle-class.

Charles Koch inherited much of his money from his daddy, Fred. He’s never known what it’s like to run a household budget on the minimum wage. Taking wage policy advice from Charles Koch is like taking advice on how to run a neighborhood watch program from George Zimmerman.

When it comes to the Koch brothers lecturing us about how the working poor should be paid, we all need to take Nancy Reagan’s advice and “just say no.”
