The Open Republic Association, together with other members of the European Network against Racism (ENAR), signed a statement calling on the European Union to counteract any forms of racism, hate speech and to ensure better security to representatives of all minorities.

On the occasion of the International Day of Memory about Holocaust Victims, which falls on January 27, NGOs from all over Europe assure that they will do everything to prevent a similar tragedy. They also call on the authorities of EU member states to take firm steps in the struggle against hate speech, all manifestations of discrimination, and to provide a stronger support for civic society. The signatories remind that our best weapon is the over-frontier solidarity in the struggle against hatred.
