Commissioner Andor encouraged an exchange of content between him individually as well as his DG and the online Roma community site. He immediately emailed the photo as an attachment from his smartphone to Juicy to post it on RomaReact so the Commissioner can also share it with his followers. He indicated that he was going to attend the Roma Festival on the international Roma day in Bodvalenke, Hungary this year. We will of course keep our fans posted on exciting Roma events and projects endorsed by Commissioner Andor.
