Jean is particularly worried by the recent rise in racist sentiments and violence in the UK.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Sadly racism is still a part of everyday life affecting so many people in different ways. It is vital that we develop a climate in which this kind of intolerance and violence is rejected outright. The UK and the rest of the EU must face up to its own prejudices before we can really make a difference. Violence is only one aspect of racism. The daily violation of people&#8217;s dignity is much broader but by ending the violence there will be a chance for a peaceful coexistence in a common society.
