The European Parliament has called for urgent action to counter hate speech and hate crime.
MEPs say they should be added to the list of so-called Euro-crimes, meaning common standards and sanctions across the EU.
They want to extend the current EU framework - which covers hatred based on race, skin colour, religion and ethnicity - to include sex, sexual orientation, age and disability.
Parliament also called for measures to stop the internet and social media being used to spread hate. Sursa : © Uniunea Europeană, 2024 - PE
