Description

The council seeks multistakeholder cooperation in tackling a pressing societal issue:hate speech, encompassing hateful comments and other types of derogatory verbal attacks on political opponents and active members of civil society, and ‘fake’ social media accounts.
The prime minister established the council, with its key tasks being to monitor hate speech in Slovenia and at the EU level and to propose actions to prevent it; to advise on the development of policies, changes to regulations and other measures that will contribute to more effective prevention of hate speech; and to contribute to the development of proposals for systemic changes and a model for a network of campaigns and training at the regional and national levels.
