3.3.3.1 Tolerance within Civil Society
Some 47% of respondents feel that the role of intolerant forces (racist, discriminatory or any
other kind of intolerance) is insignificant. However, the proportion of people who feel there are
many examples of intolerance (21%), or various types (21%), or one or two examples (21%)
can in no way be ignored.
Most respondents (34%) feel that intolerant forces are completely isolated and strongly
denounced within civil society or that they are marginalized actors in civil society (19%). But a
significant number of people think that these forces are dominant (26%) or are important actors
(21%).
