Due to the fact that Nestorović does not miss an opportunity to express his racism, A 11 - Initiative for Economic and Social Rights has just supplemented its official complaint to the Commissioner for the Protection of Equality, originally sent after the scandalous statements of this MP in the hall of the National Assembly.

Namely, after calling the members of the second parliamentary group "Gypsies" and their behavior "gypsy" in order to humiliate them at the constituent session on February 6, Nestorović continued to insult the Roma national minority by spreading discrimination on a national scale. In the morning program of "Happy" television, MP Nestorović said in a conversation with the interlocutor last Thursday: "Look, now I'm going to tell you something, since it really has come to an end, when we have to face the Gypsies at the trial...", which was recorded on a publicly available recording of the guest appearance.

His statement is a direct violation of the Law on Prohibition of Discrimination, as well as the Law on the Protection of the Rights and Freedoms of National Minorities. Due to the fact that we are talking about the continuation of discriminatory views about Roma men and women, there is a clear basis for a more serious form of discrimination.

Initiative A 11 has never and never will remain silent on this kind of spreading of racial hatred, "dressed" as a joke or a common term used among friends in the group. When he already has shameful attitudes about Roma men and women, Branimir Nestorović should at least refrain from these outbursts in public.

A large part of the public has already called Nestorović to account. It is justified to suspect that a person who was voted by a part of the citizens in the elections - enough to enter the National Assembly - is deliberately provoking the public with such statements. Another option is that he is completely unaware of his behavior, which is just as troubling.

The family is also alleging that the TV Nova producers pressured Petra into discussing the welfare benefits the family receives during the taping. The death threats read as follows: “You black, lazy fucks are living off of our taxes. I would shoot all you black gypsy monkeys dead because you don’t work and you cost us CZK 110 billion annually. Your daughter is already as fat as a pig, by the time she’s 20 she’ll weigh 150 kg. Somebody else pays for you to stuff yourselves and live where you do. You black whores, you’ll be dead of cancer in one year. DEATH to all black mugs living on our taxes!!!!!”

“When I read that letter I felt sick. I knew, when my girlfriend and I went on ‘Wife Swapping’, that everybody would criticize us, but I never anticipated that somebody would send something so disgusting to my address. I don’t know what such a person is capable of, so we are afraid, after all, we have two young children,” Marian (25) told news server Romea.cz.

The main “subject” of the episode, which was thoroughly covered on the websites of different tabloid news servers and on the Facebook profile of “Wife Swapping” (in Czech, Výměny manželek) even before it aired, is the fact that Marian has not had a job for the last five years and lives on welfare. Petra said during the taping that they receive almost CZK 27,000 [EUR 1,065] per month in benefits and survive on that without any problems.
