Number of racist criminal acts by target in France 2019-2023
In June 2024, the National Consultative Commission on Human Rights published its annual report on the state of racism in France. It appeared that racist acts highly increased in the last year, going from 1,636 acts in 2022 to 3,139 in 2023. Therefore, in the context of the legislative elections in June 2024, and the rise of far-right parties, the Commission stepped out and called on the French not to vote for the National Rally in the upcoming elections.
