Spain Jewish Groups Report 14.5% Rise in Antisemitic Incidents
The report counted 221 anti-Jewish hate crimes in 2025, up from 193, as Jewish groups warned hostility is becoming normalized.
- On Wednesday, the Federation of Jewish Communities of Spain and the Movement Against Intolerance released a report documenting a 14.5 percent rise in antisemitic incidents during 2025, recording 221 hate crimes compared to 193 the previous year.
- This sustained wave of hostility has proven to be more than a temporary reaction to the war in Gaza, with the report warning that antisemitism is increasingly becoming normalized across social, cultural, and digital spaces throughout Spain.
- FCJE President David Obadía stated that Spanish Jews face heightened security measures, noting that children often require police protection to attend school while families question the safety of communal spaces and synagogues.
- Experts warn that anti-Zionist rhetoric has moved beyond social phenomena to become, in some instances, state-promoted, leading to mounting criticism of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and his Socialist Party for allegedly fueling hostility.
- MCI President Esteban Ibarra called for a stronger institutional response to this discrimination, warning that tolerating such hatred damages social cohesion and weakens democracy, as "hatred toward Jews does not disappear simply because the language used to express it changes.
