In the end, more than money, it has been shown that it was a matter of surname and ethnic origin different from the hegemonic ones. This case is a textbook example of real estate racism, a sum of discriminatory practices that go far beyond individual behavior and that flow above all through laws and intermediaries who channel racialized people—foreigners but also Roma—towards housing of worse conditions.</p>]]></description>

In total, 479 complaints were filed, at least one each day, against LGBTI-phobia, in an institutional event also attended by President Salvador Illa and representatives of the movement's associative network. efforts" to counter messages and attacks against sexual diversity and gender expression. In this regard, Menor has warned of the risk of "normalizing" these attacks, especially among the younger population, the group where hate messages are most prevalent. According to the latest survey by the Generalitat (Catalan government) on discrimination, 25% believe the attacks should be more moderate and less visible. They curtail rights within the European Union. For the minister, the 8% increase in complaints in just one year is an "alarming" fact that cannot leave anyone indifferent.</p>]]></description>

The department, currently headed by Eva Menor, assures ARA that the delay is due to the fact that "we wanted to expand the sample of cases to be analyzed in order to definitively finalize the report." However, no date has yet been set.</p>]]></description>
