\"Gunilla<\/p>\n

Gunilla Barkar, 70, avslutar snart att sitt uppdrag som landstingspolitiker men \u00e4r verksam som ordf\u00f6rande f\u00f6r Hela m\u00e4nniska i Dalarna, f\u00f6rel\u00e4sare och guide.<\/p>\n

G\u00e5ng p\u00e5 g\u00e5ng hade Gunilla Barkar, 70, centerpartistisk landstingspolitiker fr\u00e5n Sv\u00e4rdsj\u00f6 i Dalarna, h\u00f6rt m\u00e4nniskor f\u00e4lla neds\u00e4ttande kommentarer om romska tiggare. De som vi n\u00e4stan alla har sett men som vi inte vet n\u00e5got om.<\/p>\n

\u2013\u2002Det gjorde inte jag heller men jag ville veta, s\u00e4ger hon. Det var sv\u00e5rt f\u00f6r jag talar ju inte deras spr\u00e5k. Till slut fick jag tag p\u00e5 en tolk som talade romani och kunde ge mig ut.<\/p>\n

Men Gunilla n\u00f6jde sig inte med det. Hon ville veta hur det k\u00e4ndes att sitta i vinterkylan, utl\u00e4mnad till m\u00e4nniskors eventuella vilja att sk\u00e4nka en slant.<\/p>\n

Den paranta politikern tog p\u00e5 sig en sjal och en stor m\u00f6ssa neddragen till \u00f6gonen, och satte sig utanf\u00f6r systembolaget i omr\u00e5det Norra Backa i Borl\u00e4nge.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tittade bort\"Gunilla<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2013\u2002Inte en m\u00e4nniska k\u00e4nde igen mig, s\u00e4ger hon. De flesta tittade bort och bara gick f\u00f6rbi, men n\u00e5gon la en krona eller tv\u00e5 i den pappmugg jag h\u00f6ll fram.<\/p>\n

\u2013\u2002Jag hade inte t\u00e4nkt p\u00e5 hur jobbigt det var att sitta s\u00e5 h\u00e4r. Benen och rumpan domnade och jag t\u00e4nkte n\u00e4stan hela tiden p\u00e5 hur jag skulle kunna ta mig upp igen\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2013\u2002Men det gick och min erfarenhet som tiggare blev bara en timme l\u00e5ng. Jag var glad \u00f6ver att kunna konstatera att jag inte m\u00f6tte n\u00e5gon otrevlig kommentar. Jag fick v\u00e4nliga leenden fr\u00e5n dem som sk\u00e4nkte en slant.<\/p>\n

Hur mycket pengar blev det?<\/p>\n

\u2013\u2002Bara n\u00e5gra kronor, det st\u00e4mmer v\u00e4l \u00f6verens med det jag h\u00f6rt, att det ger 70-80 kronor p\u00e5 en dag att tigga. Pengarna jag fick stoppade jag i den mugg som n\u00e4rmaste tiggare h\u00f6ll fram. Det finns v\u00e4l omkring 15-20 i Borl\u00e4nge.<\/p>\n

Men Gunilla l\u00e4t det inte stanna vi det. Hon \u00e4r ordf\u00f6rande i organisationen Hela m\u00e4nniskan i Dalarna, en ideell organisation som arbetar p\u00e5 kristen grund och som hj\u00e4lper utsatta m\u00e4nniskor i samh\u00e4llet.<\/p>\n

\u2013\u2002Och vem kan vara mer utsatta \u00e4n de romer som kommer hit fr\u00e5n till exempel Bulgarien eftersom de f\u00f6rlorat sina hem i \u00f6versv\u00e4mningar? Utblottade, men med en hel familj att f\u00f6rs\u00f6rja.<\/p>\n

\u2013\u2002H\u00e4r hamnar de helt utanf\u00f6r samh\u00e4llet, kan inte kommunicera med en m\u00e4nniska. Det var d\u00e4rf\u00f6r jag beslutade mig f\u00f6r att dra ig\u00e5ng svenskundervisning f\u00f6r romer! Intresset \u00e4r stort.<\/p>\n

\u2013\u2002Inom Hela m\u00e4nniskan har vi ocks\u00e5 samlat in varma kl\u00e4der som kan h\u00e5lla vinterkylan borta och som tagits emot med stor tacksamhet. N\u00e4r jag fr\u00e5gade n\u00e5gra romer om det fanns n\u00e5got mer de beh\u00f6vde kom svaret med en g\u00e5ng.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Loppis<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2013\u2002Madrasser, sa de genast och det visade sig att de sov m\u00e5nga personer i en etta med bara tr\u00e4dg\u00e5rdsdynor som underlag.<\/p>\n

\u2013\u2002Nu blir det ocks\u00e5 loppis med insamlade saker. Sen kan vi erbjuda var sitt loppisbord d\u00e4r man kan s\u00e4lja sakerna som samlats in och f\u00e5 in lite pengar. Betydligt b\u00e4ttre \u00e4n att sitta ute i kylan. En av de saker jag l\u00e4rde mig genom tolken var att ingen av tiggarna v\u00e5gade \u00e4ta eller dricka n\u00e5got under dagen, f\u00f6r d\u00e5 skulle de ju beh\u00f6va g\u00e5 p\u00e5 toaletten och n\u00e5gon s\u00e5dan har de ju inte tillg\u00e5ng till.<\/p>\n

Men vad s\u00e4ger du till dem som menar att ditt arbete leder till att tiggarna blir kvar och kanske blir fler?<\/p>\n

\u2013\u2002Att det h\u00e4r \u00e4r m\u00e4nniskor som lever i en fattigdom som vi inte ens kan f\u00f6rest\u00e4lla oss. Det h\u00e4r \u00e4r inga ligor, det \u00e4r m\u00e4nniskor som har det sv\u00e5rt. Min egen erfarenhet var kort, men jag f\u00f6rst\u00e5r \u00e4nd\u00e5 lite mer av deras utsatthet idag.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
