Shortly after the excitement about the WDR show “The Last Instance”, the video of another WDR show made the rounds: An appearance by Gianni Jovanovic on the WDR show “Kölner Treff” from the beginning of last year, in which the 42 year old Rome explains in a friendly and calm tone why he finds the term "gypsy" problematic.
A few days later he is in the zoom chat with WELT: in a good mood and talkative.
Jovanovic lives and works in Cologne and Berlin as a dental hygienist, activist and performer.

Finally the WDR, presenter Steffen Hallaschka and two of the guests, Janine Kunze and Micky Beisenherz, apologized.
What's your sauce balance?
