Europejski kryzys migracyjny (Rozważania pozbawione emocji i poprawności politycznej)

The article looks at the migrant crisis, which reached full fl ow in 2015, in terms of Europe’s long-term development and its relationship to other continents. It verifi es the limited options for studying this topic due to the unavailability of primary sources. It analyses fundamental contradictions in the current political and journalistic presentation of the topic, in particular the contradiction between the proclamation of legally secured grace, and the attempt to make up the workforce defi cit; between temporary protection and permanent integration of migrants. It emphasises the pragmatic features of the actions of large economic corporations, governments, traffi cking gangs and migrants. Against this, it notes the need to determine Europe’s absorption abilities and rigorously support the population of Africa and Asia remaining in their home nations, but with a regulated birth rate (implementing a planned parenthood model), and with greater support from richer Arab countries. Instead of the ambiguous concept of ‘European values’, it formulates the notion of European civilisation experience and its duality, which is conditional upon a different approach to immigration in Western (post-colonial) and Eastern (post-totalitarian) states within the European Union. In conclusion, it outlines the threats unmanaged migration represents for Europe, and the potential for managing this crisis.
