EJC in the media

The EJC says it is aligned with the Jewish Community of Lisbon (CIL) “in expressing its deep concern regarding the concert of Ye (Kanye West) at the Algarve Stadium”.

According to the Brussels-based EJC, Portugal “should follow the example” of countries such as the United Kingdom, France, Poland, Switzerland and Italy, where concerts scheduled by Kanye West were cancelled or postponed.

The European Jewish Congress strongly condemned Ben-Gvir for what it called his "disgraceful actions."

“Romania is witnessing the dangerous return of old-fashioned antisemitism in some of its ugliest historic forms,” says Dr Moshe Kantor, president of the European Jewish Congress, the representative organisation of European Jewish communities.

“What we are witnessing today across Britain, and increasingly across Europe, is not a temporary spike or an emotional aftershock of a distant conflict. It is a structural crisis,” said Dr. Moshe Kantor, president of the European Jewish Congress.

“Antisemitism thrives in environments of instability, ignorance, and alienation. It can only be contained by building societies that offer the opposite: stability, knowledge, and belonging. That means investing in young people, not just as a moral obligation, but as a strategic necessity,” says EJC President Dr Moshe Kantor.
