Hate speech? Discrimination due to sex? Promoting the fascist or totalitarian state system? – we face evil all the time. Open Republic – the Association against Anti-Semitism and Xenophobia scrupulously documents villainies. (…) The political impartiality of OR is rarely met in the Polish Internet. In the basis of villainies there is a category “internet entry being a threat toward a group of people due to their political affiliation” and the entry which OR struggles against is as follows: “I dream about cutting throats of PIS members”… Villainy is a villainy regardless of the target.

The Open Republic attempts to deal with the problem of hate speech and its particularly intensive presence in the Polish reality of the recent years. It is even more important due to the fact that research shows that there is more of this hatred in Poland than the average in Europe.” – writes Witold Bereś about our Association.
