NOA National Report Card on Spain

26/03/2026

This report presents an overview of Spain’s policy framework to combat antisemitism and foster Jewish life across 11 key areas: culture, education, hate crime, hate speech, Holocaust remembrance, intercultural dialogue, media, religious freedom, security, sport, and youth. Among the strongest areas, the report identifies security, religious freedom, and hate crime. Among the weakest, it highlights education, intercultural dialogue, and media.

Content on Judaism, Jewish history, and contemporary antisemitism has not yet been systematically integrated into curricula and teacher training and monitoring structures remain underdeveloped. Similar inconsistencies appear in youth policy, intercultural dialogue, media, and hate speech prevention, where promising local practices exist but often lack continuity, coordination, and stable support.

While national initiatives and partnerships with civil society provide a strong basis, clearer responsibilities across institutions, improved data collection, and regular evaluation mechanisms are still needed. Moving forward, the country will need to consolidate its policy commitments through stable funding, stronger cross-ministerial coordination, and institutionalised dialogue not only with established religious communities but also with the broader diversity of Jewish voices, including cultural, social, academic, grassroots actors and younger generations.

By bridging structural gaps, improving monitoring, engaging a wider range of Jewish voices, and ensuring that antisemitism is recognised and addressed specifically within broader anti-racism efforts, Spain can transform its commitments into sustained progress, countering antisemitism effectively while fostering a vibrant and confident Jewish life.
