Europeans says migrant integration has failed, EC poll shows

Only 24% of Swedes thought integration was going well

Newsroom April 30 09:47

A European Commission poll has found that a strong majority of people in France, Germany, and Sweden believe the integration of migrants has failed in their country.
People in all 28 member states were asked: “Generally speaking, how successful or not is the integration of most immigrants living in [your country].”
Overall, across the open borders bloc, 55 percent of people said integration it is going badly and 39 percent said it had been a success, according to the survey commissioned by the European Union’s (EU) unelected executive branch.
In Sweden, the picture was bleak, with just 24 percent of respondents saying they thought integration was going well, and a shocking 73 percent saying it has gone badly.

In Germany, only 31 percent of people think integration has gone well, with 63 percent thinking it is unsuccessful. In France, it was a similar situation with 64 percent of people thinking it has been unsuccessful and 27 percent saying otherwise.
In Britain, the picture was slightly more positive, with 55 percent of respondents saying it has been successful compared to 36 percent who said it was unsuccessful.
In Italy, the situation was worse than Germany, but better than Sweden, with 63 saying integration was going bad and just 27 agreeing it was going well.
In low-immigration Hungary, respondents were a little more optimistic than the Germans, with the latter’s government adopting an open border approach and the former’s erecting a border wall and campaigning strongly against mass migration.
Marginally fewer Hungarians (32 percent) said integration was going badly than in Angela Merkel’s Germany and significantly less (55 percent) said it was going badly.
The survey was carried out by TNS Political & Social network in the 28 states between the 21st and 30th of October last year and published in April. Around 28,000 people were questioned.
The revelations of negative attitudes towards the success of integration across Europe comes shortly after another pan-European poll which found 78 percent across the continent wanted tighter border control. Separate BBC research released last week reported Europe as the most divided continent in the world, with immigration the largest source of division.
