European Commission

Hate has no place in our societies.

It fuels division, conflict, and undermines human rights.

On International Day for Countering Hate Speech, we reaffirm our commitment to stamping it out, in all its forms.

Europe is acting through concrete frameworks such as the ECHR, Digital Services Act, and laws banning incitement to hatred.

Say #NoToHate, today, and every day.

@EUCommission And how do you deal with unruly member states who pass legislation acting contrary to these values? We're still waiting for the EU to act. I don't think I really need to name anyone, everyone knows. When will the parliament and the comission act?

@sshipfinex @EUCommission and please, can you do something about press freedom in the sense that our press can’t be owned or led by right winged billionaires or similar

and it is only one sample of what we have in Europe.

Germany's Merz says Israel doing 'dirty work for us' in Iran

The German chancellor's support comes amid fresh strikes launched by both Israel and Iran. Meanwhile, in Gaza, dozens were reported killed near a GHF aid distribution site. Follow DW for more.

@EUCommission and you know what will be my response: what is the EU commission going to do about LGTBQ-free zones in central Europe?

How do you think people from the LGTBQ community feels in those villages and cities? How is that not hateful?

Yes, homosexuality is officially forbidden in the United Arab Emirates according to the law. But at least here are no big signs placed when you enter a city of a village that proudly shouts out that it has no LGTBQ people.

@Paul_Harts EU commission did something, they took away the EU funds and because of it a lot of them were removed. Some of them were also removed by administrative courts. The last one was removed 2 months ago. Lastly, there were no signs when entering villages, the zone were only symbolic. Signs were created by LGBT activist.

@xior112 that is extremely pleasant to hear. Thank you for this update. Because there’s a difference between forbidding homosexuality by law, and putting up boards and signs saying that you don’t want those people. The first thing is a stupid law, the second is hate speech.

So thank you for this reassuring update and correction.

@EUCommission in that case i expect the EU do all it can to help germany ban the afd party. we need both pressure on politicians and a clear message that the EU won't block the ban on a nazi party (because a damn lot of politicians claim the EU makes it hard to ban parties)

@EUCommission In my opinion most Europeans want Peace : End to this horrible War fueled by Hate in UKR-RU, where only Christians are dying in battle while most War Profiteers, the ones who control Military Contracts, are non-Christians. Most Europeans want EU Children to be Free from the Pedophile proselitism Lobby: Demanding that all Minors in EU learn about Sex- Change Surgery & Hormones to change their natural biological sex gender & by mutilation,etc .Most Europeans want RE-PATRIATION now .

@EUCommission If only those words meant something in the face of rising fascism and ongoing and renewed wars by bad actors, something the EC has barely taken a stand against or is actively supporting. #FreePalestine

@EUCommission Good to see this, but I seem to have missed your statement criticising Israeli leaders calling Palestinians animals.

@EUCommission More can and should be done then to bad actors masquerading as political parties spreading hate. There is a whole wing of far right sitting in the EP and they are undermining our democracies by getting elected and then try to trample basic human rights and ignoring laws.

And then there are ‘moderates’ like Merz stating Israel doing the dirty job for us? What?
