Cem Romengo

Cem Romengo

Cem Romengo is the name of a symbolic ethnic Roma state. The self-proclaimed emperor of the world's Roma, Iulian Rădulescu, announced in 1997 the creation of the first Roma state in Târgu Jiu, in southwest Romania. Rădulescu, who had declared himself "Iulian I" four years before, told a press conference that he signed a "decree" proclaiming a poor district of Târgu Jiu "Cem Romengo", or state of the Romanies. "This state has a symbolic value and does not affect the sovereignty and unity of Romania. It does not have armed forces and does not have borders", Rădulescu added. He said he had asked Romanian authorities to recognise the Romas' "right of ownership" to this land.
