We were fairly impressed by the Ministry of Human Resources, State Secretary for Social Inclusion, even more so when arriving on the floor where Mr Kovács works, on finding a profound display of Romani art lining the walls for metres upon metres. Even more stunned when invited into his office, we were overwhelmed with the aroma of fresh strawberry, cases lining the floor. So what was this University graduate in Biology and Geography doing here? Lucent and articulate mediation about the issues facing the Roma in his country, and in Europe. His sense of future is inspiring.
