La Fragua Projects, together with its partners, is bringing the FEIG 2025 Report to Seville to boost the political advocacy of the Rromani People in Andalusia
The presentation of the report and a programme of institutional meetings reinforce the collective efforts of the Rromani civil society movement to place its proposals at the heart of the political debate in Andalusia.
La Fragua Projects, together with Presencia Gitana, FAGIC and Unión Romaní Madrid, has organised a series of meetings in Seville as part of the 2026 Interregional Rroma Strategic Forum (FEIG 2026). These sessions have helped to advance the development of proposals and strengthen the political influence of the Romani people at a crucial juncture.
One of the key elements of the agenda has been the presentation of the FEIG 2025 Report, a document containing analyses, assessments and specific proposals aimed at ensuring equal treatment, inclusion and the effective participation of the Rromani people. The report is based on an insider’s perspective, drawn from the knowledge and experience of Romani organisations, and focuses on transforming public policies through a rights-based approach.

To open up channels of dialogue with institutions
In Seville, the organisations held meetings at the Andalusian Parliament with the PSOE and Por Andalucía parliamentary groups, as well as a meeting with Antonio Ismael Huertas, Director-General for Social Protection and Priority Neighbourhoods at the Regional Government of Andalusia.
These meetings have made it possible to put forward specific proposals directly and to open channels of dialogue with policy-makers. This is a necessary step to ensure that the demands of the Rromani people are included on the institutional agenda and are not excluded from decision-making processes.
Strengthening collective work
Beyond the institutional aspect, the meetings have also provided a forum for the internal workings of the voluntary sector. During the conference, partnerships between organisations have been strengthened, new avenues for collaboration have been explored, and common strategies have been shared.
This collective approach is key to tackling structural inequalities and antigypsisism, from an active stance that positions Rroma organisations themselves as the driving force behind change.
Proposals with an eye on 2026
The work in Seville takes place against a significant political backdrop. With the Andalusian elections scheduled for June 2026, the organisations have made progress in drawing up specific proposals aimed at placing the needs of the Romani people at the centre of public debate.
This represents a clear commitment to political advocacy: transforming reality involves not only highlighting inequalities, but also developing alternatives and bringing them into the decision-making arena.
An ongoing process
The presentation of the FEIG 2025 Report and the meetings held in Seville form part of a wider process that will continue over the coming months.
The FEIG, funded by the Ministry of Social Rights, Consumer Affairs and the 2030 Agenda, continues to establish itself as a key forum for strengthening the participation of the Rromani people and moving towards public policies that are fairer, more inclusive and more in touch with reality.
