The Attorney General's Office indicates that 38.5% of the 1,824 judicial proceedings opened in 2021 for hate crimes corresponded to incidents of racism and xenophobia. The vast majority of cases are invisible in the statistics, agree the Public Ministry, the Interior, the European Union and social organizations.
According to the Ministry of the Interior's report on hate crimes, about 90% of victims of hate crimes do not report – a large part related to racist attacks. The most common reason for not reporting the incident is that those affected believe that "nothing will happen or change"
