In terms of antisemitism in Europe, a 2025 report on antisemitism in Europe places Spain at 29%, in the mid-range among European countries measured for antisemitic attitudes. Reports of increases in antisemitic incidents and hate crimes have been noted in other countries, notably the United Kingdom, where incidents rose dramatically since 2023 in association with developments in the Israel-Gaza conflict and related events in 2024 and 2025.
However, specific incidents or trends in Spain for 2023 or 2024 are not detailed in these sources. European-wide reports indicate ongoing concerns about antisemitism and hate crimes, but no direct mention or statistics pertaining to a rise or analysis of antisemitic hate crimes in Spain for 2023 or 2024 were found in the current search results.
In conclusion, while antisemitism remains a recognized issue in Spain, concrete evidence or reported analysis focused on an increase in antisemitic hate crimes in Spain during 2023 and 2024 is not available in the reviewed results. Data from nearby years or other countries like the UK shows notable rises linked to geopolitical events, but no analogous explicit information for Spain has been identified here.
- Despite the rise in antisemitism in Spain, there seems to be a lack of specific data or analysis on the increase of antisemitic hate crimes in Spain during 2023 and 2024, as the focus appears to be on other countries such as the United Kingdom, where similar increases have been linked to geopolitical events.
- In the realm of general news, discussions about the fashion industry and politics often intersect, and one can argue that a rise in antisemitism can inadvertently affect both sectors due to their impact on societal values and public opinion.
