Report - Survey 2017. Evolution of Racism, Xenophobia and other forms of Intolerance in Spain
We publish the report on the analysis of results of the survey Attitudes towards immigration X, carried out by the Center for Sociological Research (CIS) in 2017. The results of the report show the same positive trend regarding the tolerant attitude of Spanish nationals towards immigration, although some variables show a slight regression in comparison to 2016. Nevertheless, it should be indicated that 2016 was an exceptional year with the best results of the whole period analysed (since 2007). In 2017 a proportion of 54% of the respondents considered immigration positively, being the third best result of the period after 2007 (58.9%) and 2016 (54.3%). The report also shows that factors such as the economic situation, dramatic events, the media and political speech have an influence on the attitudes towards immigration. Therefore, it is crucial to continue monitoring these attitudes and implementing prevention action, raising awareness and fighting racism, xenophobia and other related intolerance.

In this document Spaniards’ opinions and attitudes towards Islam are gleaned from data published by the Real Instituto Elcano (think tank) barometer. According to Javier Noya, it would not be correct to state that Spaniards reject Islam. There is no Islamophobia per se in Spain. When certain elements of Islam are criticised, the criticism is not specific, but rather motivated by increasing secularism in Spanish society that also leads it to criticise certain public manifestations of Catholicism. Undoubtedly, Spain’s drift towards secularism is the underlying factor that must be taken into account when analysing these attitudes.
