Infracțiunile motivate de ură au crescut în România de la 129 la 492 de cazuri în ultimii trei ani

The number of hate crimes in Romania surged to 492 in 2025, a 281.4% increase from 2022. A government report highlights the rise of antisemitism, xenophobia, and hate speech, particularly online. It notes a normalization of extremist rhetoric and symbols, with significant incidents linked to nationalist radicalization. Police statistics show a steady rise in hate crimes over the years, with 415 investigations in 2025 alone. A survey indicates growing antisemitic sentiments among the public. The implementation of the national strategy against these issues is lagging, with many measures still incomplete.
