This is the best summary I could come up with:

Racism is “pervasive and relentless” and on the rise in Europe, with nearly half of black people in member states surveyed by the EU reporting discrimination, from the verbal abuse of their children to being blocked by landlords from renting homes.

In every walk of life, from schools to the job market, housing and health, a survey by the EU’s rights agency of people of African descent found high levels of discrimination, with some of the worst results recorded in Austria and Germany, where far-right parties have been on the rise.

The survey of 6,752 people of African descent in 13 countries – Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Poland, Portugal, Spain and Sweden – found 45% had experienced racial discrimination, an increase of six percentage points from 39% in 2016.

An AfD politician was elected to the post of district administrator, the equivalent of a mayor, in Germany for the first time in June, with more recent electoral triumphs in the west of the country leading it to describe itself as a “major all-German party”.

In Austria, the Freedom party (FPÖ), founded in 1956 and first led by a former Nazi functionary and SS officer, is leading in the polls ahead of a general election next year, which it is expected to win.

The EU and its member states should use these findings to better target their efforts and ensure people of African descent, too, can enjoy their rights freely without racism and discrimination,” he said.
