Presentation of the report today.
There has been an increase in the number of citizens who want to live in a pluralistic society in the CSC and 77.8% are currently in favour of diversity, according to the latest Ikuspegireport, which also shows that three out of four citizens consider discrimination to be a significant social problem in the Basque Country.
Nerea Melgosa, Counsellor for Welfare, Youth and Demographic Challenge of the Basque Government, Marian Iriarte, Vice-Rector of Institutional Relations and Culture of the UPV/EHU, and Julia Shershneva, Director of Vision, presented this week the 'Survey on Perceptions and Attitudes of the Basque Country to Discrimination (EPADE) 2025'.
The report shows that "the vast majority of Basque people are in favour of diversity". Since the previous report, the percentage of people who are in this position has increased by 1.4% and currently stands at 77.8%.
According to the director of Ikuspegi, "47m4% of citizens believe that discrimination is a fairly or very important problem in Basque society." "Citizens are more open to diversity in areas of daily coexistence (household, employment, home), but this attitude is more closed in intimate or family areas, such as sentimental relations with individuals belonging to specific groups or social groups," he said.
