Explanatory note

Racist parties are growing and some politicians are increasingly inciting and spreading hatred against Muslims. If we want to combat racism and intolerance and the growing hatred against Muslims that caused the terrorist attack in New Zealand and acknowledge this can happen anywhere in Europe, this report will not achieve its purpose.
