The Moroccan diaspora in Spain seems to be more exposed than any other nationality to hate crimes. Data published by the Spanish Ministry of the Interior are disturbing. A report by the Department of Fernando-Grande-Marlaska placed Moroccans at the top of the list of foreign nationals who have been victims of hate crimes.
In fact, 181 victims were recorded, which makes Moroccans a target for criminals with xenophobic motivations. Thus, the aggressions perpetrated against our compatriots represent 9.66% of the crimes committed against foreigners in Spain.
In the list of victims, Moroccans come first, ahead of Colombians (2.72%), Venezuelans (2.72%) and Senegalese (1.12%).
Roughly, 1,802 hate crimes committed against Spaniards were reported in the Iberian neighbor. Spanish women, the report points out, are still the victims of 65.53% of all crimes and are the main perpetrators, with 75.64% of the crimes recorded.
