Ministry of Interior: Xenophobia fuels most hate crimes

The Human Rights Defense faction of the Ministry of the Interior claims that xenophobia in Poland is much stronger and more prevalent than homophobia, reported Rzeczpospolita.  Only one percent of hate crimes in 2014 targeted LGBT individuals (four cases). In comparison, 39 percent were ethnic hate crimes, 25 percent were racist, 18 percent motivated by totalitarian propaganda, and 4 percent targeted religious groups.
