Question 11594 — religions and cults

Summary

Ms. Claire Marais-Beuil draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior to the rise in anti-Christian violence. According to a report recently published by the Observatory on intolerance and discrimination against Christians in Europe (OIDAC), there is a continuing increase in violence committed against people of the Christian faith. The results are alarming: there are 2,211 anti-Christian hate crimes recorded on the year 2024, i.e. nearly 6 attacks per day, 274 personal attacks such as harassment, threats, physical violence and 94 arson attacks against Christian sites, corresponding to the doubling of fires committed in the year 2023. On French territory alone, nearly 1,000 attacks were recorded in 2024, i.e. around 2.7 attacks per day, making it the most affected European country. For example, 700 attacks were carried out in the United Kingdom and 277 in Germany. In addition to physical attacks, there are numerous acts of discrimination, including various bans on religious events and restrictions on places of worship themselves. Consequently, he asks him to kindly provide him with an exhaustive inventory of the threat weighing on Christian communities in France as well as to inform him of the urgent measures which must be taken in order to put an end as quickly as possible to this alarming situation which permanently threatens freedom of religion in the country.
