5:00 pm From Keleti Station to Kilburn High Road and Back: Reflections on Europe's Migration Crisis

MCC kecskeméti képzési központ

Reflecting on the demographic changes wrought across Europe by mass migration, Adam LeBor charts the story of how the migration crisis has reshaped much of the continent. Comparing Hungary’s resistance to the 2015 shock-wave, LeBor examines countries- such as Britain and Sweden - which have undergone significant demographic changes. Britain, he argues, has experienced drastic societal upheaval as a consequence of these shifts. From LeBor’s birthplace in North London to the increasingly Islamicised former mill towns of Yorkshire, much of British society now appears visibly in decline. Contrary to Angela Merkel’s infamous lines - “wir schaffen das” (we can do it) - the migration crisis has precipitated dangerous social phenomena, including the rise of organised and gang crime, rape, sexual assaults, and soaring rates of anti-Semitism.
