- The growth of xenophobia and extremist ideologies is a direct and primary
result of the migrant and refugee crisis. This is not only contrary to human
rights standards but also can threaten the existence of the European Union in
the shadows of the growth of extremist right wing political parties.
- Finally, it must not be forgotten that the root cause of most of the chaos goes
back to refugee and migrant producing countries, particularly conflict regions
in the Middle East and North Africa, and to the former colonial policies of
European countries, then unplanned entry of refugees without to crises in
countries such as Libya, Sudan, Afghanistan and Syria. Unfortunately until
this issue is not structurally dealt with, these types of crises will continue.
