Do Europeans fear diversity?

A new survey has shown that Europeans are divided when it comes to multiculturalism and its impact on society. Pew Research found that people across the continent fear the migration crisis will result in more terrorism and fewer jobs. Few Europeans feel growing diversity makes their country a better place to live in.

Opinion on this topic is split geographically with 63 per cent of Greeks and 41 per cent of Hungarians saying growing diversity makes their countries worse places to live in. In Germany, which has taken the lion’s share of refugees, 40 per cent of people feel that growing diversity makes little difference while 26 per cent say it makes the country better place.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
