The total number of cases in this year’s report is 364, a drop of 58 on the previous year. The drop in cases is mostly because in 2020, the European Commission Code of Conduct did not perform a monitoring round on countering illegal hate speech online, which FSG has been participating in as a trusted flagger for the past six years. FSG usually reports more than 100 cases of anti-Roma hate speech in these monitoring rounds, which this year are absent from our report. However, we have reported numerous cases of poor practice in the media that tied the Roma community to the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
