I can't find an article for this that isn't in Romanian so here is a brief summary of the situation:
A Romani woman in Urziceni (a Romanian city) gave birth on the sidewalk after medical professionals refused to help her
The woman was then disparaged in media. The mayor of Urziceni called her dumb, illiterate, poor, said she was disabled, deaf and mute (as if that means she is a bad person somehow), and said she is trying to villify him.
Carmen Gheorghe, who works at E-Romnja (Romanian Romani feminist organization), has linked this incident to a series of medical malpractice cases targeting Romani women in Romania. In Prahova, a Romanian county, a Romani woman was 'almost butchered' while being stitched up after giving birth to her child. When she went to get her stitches removed, the nurse had to stitch her up again and attributed this to how badly the previous doctors had done their job (source: E-Romnja's Instagram account)

Constantin Sava, primarul orașului Urziceni, a spus că este vorba de o femeie „cu handicap”, de etnie romă care „nu știe de capul ei”.
