Key findings

The President of the French Republic declared combating racism and anti-Semitism a Major National Cause for 2015. Prioritizing the combat against racism and anti-Semitism, mobilizing the State, local governments, civil society and citizens in both mainland and overseas France, means recognizing the urgency of the situation: the urgency of the new outbreak of anti-Semitism which we believed to have been extinguished and is at its highest level since the end of the war; the urgency of the social, territorial and identity divides in areas left to tackle crime and radicalism alone, and where all values will be gradually distorted if we are not careful; the urgency of the flood of hatred spouted daily on the Internet and social networks by preachers of hate and back-room ideologies; and lastly, the urgency when racist and anti-Semitic insults become the norm in school playgrounds and sports grounds.
