INTERVIU De ce, în doar 5 ani, 40% dintre români au ajuns să creadă că evreii sunt o amenințare pentru societate / Contextul războiului din Israel

Alexandru Florian, director of the Elie Wiesel Institute, discusses rising antisemitism in Romania, revealing alarming statistics from a recent report. He highlights that 40% of Romanians believe Jews destabilize society, a significant increase since 2021. Florian attributes these views to societal frustrations and a lack of historical acknowledgment. He warns that antisemitism can escalate from verbal aggression to violence. The report also critiques public figures, including Nicușor Dan, for their handling of sensitive historical contexts. Florian emphasizes the need for a collective societal response to combat these prejudices.
