“Islamophobia in Greece was expressed primarily by certain political parties and politicians of the right and extreme right, neo-liberals, figures of the Orthodox Church of Greece, printed and electronic media, and journalists including their posts on social media.“From these crimes, 678 were racially motivated or xenophobic,” the report said, citing Spanish Interior Ministry data.
