two men from Sri Lanka were hired at a bakery in the village of Ditró (Hargita megye), which annoyed the locals, that gathered in front of the village council to ask the mayor to send away the two foreigners.
quoting from what the villagers said to the media:
"We are not used to these people. The bread they make we have to eat and we look whose hand we eat from.”
"If we receive the two now, others will come. But they treat Christians pretty nasty back in their countries.”
"I do not look at them with good eyes, because we now must protect our women and children from such people."
"They bring us diseases, things we are not used to."
The mayor said people in the village are more conservative and don't like foreigners, especially of another skin colour.
