The EJC stands with the Jewish community of Barcelona and supports the complaints already filed. We urge GoGoCarto, the Government of Catalonia, and the City Council of Barcelona to act with urgency to remove content that enables discrimination and incitement, and to ensure accountability under applicable law.

The European Jewish Congress strongly condemns the antisemitic harassment and threats directed at Silviu Vexler, a Member of the Romanian Chamber of Deputies, the official representative of the Jewish community in Parliament, and President of the Federation of Jewish Communities of Romania.

“It is unconscionable that Jewish families gathering to celebrate a joyous event in one of the most multicultural cities in the world should be slaughtered in cold blood by terrorists,” said EJC President Dr Moshe Kantor.

We call on Dublin City Councillors to reject this motion and to send a clear message that Jewish history is Irish history and that attempts to marginalise or diminish it have no place in a democratic society.

The summit, which brought together elected officials from across Europe, was organised by the Combat Antisemitism Movement and the City of Paris, together with the European Jewish Congress, CRIF, and AEPJ.

The messages, signed by EJC President Dr Moshe Kantor and the presidents of EJC-affiliated communities across Europe, convey the collective relief and gratitude of Jewish communities worldwide after two years of immense suffering and grief.
