In recent years, EUR 12.4 million was allocated to the European Network Against Racism.

Omissions

• The EUR 12.4 million is a cumulative figure covering 2014-2023 (about a decade), not an annual amount or a figure limited to 'recent years'; presenting it as such inflates the impression of current spending.
• The primary source is a 2024 French Senate proposal/report; only a secondary account of it (FDD analysis) could be retrieved within the search limit, so the underlying Senate document could not be checked directly.
• The cited source (FDD) is an advocacy think tank, not an official statistical or budgetary source; EU funding transparency data (EU Financial Transparency System / Commission grant database) would be needed to corroborate the total.
• Context omitted: the Commission decided in 2026 to discontinue ENAR's EU operating grant, a decision that post-dates the period covered by the EUR 12.4 million figure and that sparked protests from over 100 NGOs and Human Rights Watch.
