The institutional video arrives just at the beginning of the LGTBIQ+ 2025 Pride Festival in Madrid
Have you been insulted, threatened or attacked for being who you are? It’s not your fault. It’s a crime. That is the central message of the video that the Government Delegation in Madrid has just released, coinciding with the start of LGTBIQ+ Pride 2025. A clear, direct, and necessary message. Especially in these days where visibility is celebrated, but can also spark hate speech.

The Government delegate himself, Francisco Martín, stars in the audiovisual piece along with two agents from the National Police and the Civil Guard. In the video, which is already circulating on social networks, people are encouraged to report any situation that could qualify as a hate crime. The official channels are the telephone numbers 091, 062 or the mobile application AlertCops, designed to contact the security forces directly.
What to do if you suffer or witness a hate crime?
The campaign not only focuses on the complaint. Also remember that any affected person can ask to speak to specialized units in these cases. And, if you need it, request psychological support or legal assistance.
In addition, you can contact the National Office to Combat Hate Crimes, where you can resolve doubts and receive professional guidance.

The intention is clear: break the silence and give tools to those who suffer discrimination or violence due to their identity, orientation or gender expression. Because making visible also implies protecting, and for that the mechanisms need to be active and accessible.
Francisco Martín closes the video by ensuring that the Government continues working to strengthen specialized police units, improve care for victims and adequately train those who must guarantee our security. “Don’t be silent. You are not alone, you are not alone. We are with you”, she states with determination.
