Germany Late on Anti-LGBTQ+ Hate Crime Plan as Attacks Reach All-Time High

Germany's government missed a deadline to report on steps fighting anti-LGBTQ+ hate crime, says advocacy group LSVD. Lawmakers had ordered this report. At the same time, federal police data released June 9, 2026 shows such attacks at an all-time high. No one can yet confirm whether the planned steps were actually carried out.
