Roma people want to be free of the control of states.
In the case of Spain, Roma are so integrated to Spanish history and arts, that are considered central to the identity of that country.
In the case of my own country, they are starting to be assimilated to the mainstream. No matter that, they still preserve theirs traditions.
Finally, there isn't a single Roma people. The gypsies have a lot variety of culture and lifestyles depending on the countries they live. A Romanian gypsie has not much to do with a Spaniard Gypsy or an Arab or Latin American gypsie.

Hmm, you  forgot that, with the creation of Israel, we had approximately 6 wars and 2 Indifandas?

Roma have been nomads since...forever and they don't even want a state for themselves.

I think Roma people should have a territory of their own on this planet, somewhere in Europe. This would help them as the creation of Israel helped the Jewish people, not for that most of them would migrate to that territory but because they would get another self-conscience when having a land of their own.

The problem is: where to establish that territory? Romania is by far the country with the largest Roma community, some millions, inlcuding he mixed Romanian-Roma but establishing a Roma state on the territory of Romania I see unacceptable due to the bad behaviour they (Roma) have had and having toward Romanians and also Romania would start to look as a multinational state while the Roma community numbered only few hundred thousands some decades ago.

Other countries with the same high percent of Roma population (10-15% but rapidly increasingly) are Bulgaria and Hungary.

What you think, shoud be established such state and where?
