Bangladeshi expatriates in Slovenia and Hungary not to say!
“Corona virus” is undoubtedly the name of the biggest disaster of this century. The whole world is helpless against any kind of war, not any kind of military operation or any kind of nuclear operation, a very small kind of light microscope. According to the latest report released by the World Health Organization, evidence of the deadly corona virus has been found in about 205 countries around the world. Every day thousands of people in different parts of the world are being infected with this deadly corona virus, countless lives are being lost.
Central European countries Slovenia and Eastern European countries Hungary are no exception. According to the latest report published by worldometers.info, 1,344 people have been infected with the deadly corona virus in Slovenia so far. In addition, seven people have died in Slovenia so far from the deadly corona virus and 198 have returned home healthy. In Hungary, an Eastern European country, 2,097 people have now been infected with the deadly corona virus. In addition, 213 people have died in Hungary so far from the effects of the deadly corona virus.

The two countries have been going through a state of emergency since last month to curb the outbreak of the corona virus, and certain services, such as hospitals, banks, pharmacies, food shops, super shops and petrol stations, have been shut down. The government has instructed people not to leave their homes unless absolutely necessary.
A large number of Bangladeshis live in France, Italy, Portugal, Great Britain, Spain, Greece, Austria and other European countries. Although not in Slovenia or Hungary, a significant number of expatriate Bangladeshis live in the two countries. Most of the expatriate Bangladeshis living in Hungary are students. In particular, as a result of the recent bilateral agreement between the Government of Bangladesh and the Government of Hungary, about 100 Bangladeshi students have been pursuing higher education at various levels, including Bachelor’s, Master’s and PhD degrees, since September last year. In addition, there are a number of other students who are studying at various Hungarian universities at their own expense, most of the Bangladeshi students living in Hungary live in the capital Budapest or the second largest city Dubrichen. There are also a few Bangladeshis who are involved in various occupational activities and there are two Bangladeshi-owned restaurants in Budapest. In all, about two hundred to two hundred and fifty Bangladeshis live in this country of Eastern Europe. Speaking of Slovenia, on the other hand, some of the Bangladeshis living in Slovenia are students and others are involved in various occupational activities. There are also two Bangladeshi-owned restaurants in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia.
The Corona virus situation has put the lives of expatriate Bangladeshis living in Slovenia and Hungary in a life of stagnation like other countries in the world. Expatriate Bangladeshis, like citizens of other countries living in both countries due to the current nationalist and right-wing attitude of the current government, will be part of the government’s announced assistance due to the situation as we have seen in Portugal, Italy, Spain, Austria, France and Slovenia and Hungary. No. In addition, as there is no Bangladesh embassy in these two countries, the Bangladesh embassy in Vienna, the capital of Austria, assists the expatriate Bangladeshis living in these two countries in all their needs. However, in such a situation, no decision has been taken by the Bangladesh Embassy in Vienna, the capital of Austria, to help these expatriate Bangladeshis like the Bangladesh embassies in other European countries.
Tanmoy Obaldin Gomez, an expatriate Bangladeshi student pursuing a bachelor’s degree in business management from Kodolani Yanos University College in Budapest, Hungary, was interviewed and told that he had to stay at home due to the corona virus infection. The amount of money he earned working part-time each month would have been enough to cover his monthly expenses for his livelihood, but due to Corona’s situation, he had no job at the time. Even with the small savings he had, he would not be able to move forward in that way for long and it would not be possible for him to bring his monthly expenses from home. On the other hand, the expatriate Bangladeshis living in Hungary are not as well off as the expatriate Bangladeshis living in other European countries like France, Great Britain, Italy, Spain, Austria, Germany and no one is able to help anyone in that way as the expatriate Bangladeshis in Hungary do not have such a well organized community.
Slovenia is a country of great beauty
The situation is much the same for expatriate Bangladeshis living in small Slovenia in Central Europe. Tousif Rahman is an expatriate Bangladeshi student at the University of Lubbock
