The method of excluding the Hungarians from better jobs also takes the form of refusing to give them residency permits in the cities. The strained housing situation has forced the authorities to close the cities to new settlers in order to avoid the creation of slum areas like in Latin America. Such is the Communist explanation for banning Hungarian immigrants from the cities while making. generous exceptions for Rumanians. But what do we see in practice? Hungarians are only allowed to settle even temporarily if they come as servants. dishwashers. maids. or chauffeurs to the Communist bosses or to the new Rumanian managerial elite. or if they have some very special skills that a plant or factory needs.
