Here’s what pizza has to do with anti-immigration politics - The Washington Post
Keywords:
Tags:
People from Denmark are known for fluency in English, and are some of the best non-native speakers of the English language. About 38 percent of courses at Danish universities are in English. Yet debate is shifting to the inflluence of immigrants in society as "pizza-Dansk" or "pizza-Danish" is spoken by Middle East immigrants at pizzerias. One Danish member of parliament from the DF Party is suggesting the government prevent the spread of "pizza-Dansk" and help preserve the Danish language spoken by 6 million people in the country. It is reflection of the anti-immigrant mood in Sweden, Denmark and other European countries, where parliamentary elections have given parties opposed to immigration a larger number of seats.

Denmark's Social Democrats plan to tighten immigration rules to require work before the 2015 general election
06/17/2015
Immigrants to Denmark, including refugees, will be required to work, and not allowed to live off allowances, under new rules on immigration set by the ruling Social Democratic Party. The party's move comes as the opposition Liberal Party took a tougher line on immigration requiring that immigrants work and speak Danish, taking voter support away from the Social Democrats. The shift by the Social Democrats comes before the 2015 general election and shift in voter mood against open immigration in the European Union.

France's Muslim communities, in the banlieues and other urban areas following the Charlie Hebdo attack in 2015
01/10/2015
The integration of six million Muslims, including youth with few opportunities, remains a major challenge in France. A similiar challenge exists in the UK, Germany, Holland and Scandinavian countries. It was emerging as an issue long before the Charlie Hebdo attacks. Immigration was an issue in the 2014 elections in Sweden, and is emerging as an issue in the elections in other European countries, increasing the popularity of right wing parties.

Issues of funding for services and infrastructure, immigration, women's issues, take centre stage in Sweden's 2014 parliamentary elections
09/14/2014
Sweden's centre right government loses the 2014 election with 39.3% of the vote, the Social Democrats allied to the Green Party win about 43.7% of the vote. A far right party calling for 90% cuts in immigrant integration funding doubles its vote. Immigrants mainly from war torn Syria, Iraq and Somalia. The increased voting for the far right comes mainly from the centre right government party. The women's party gets 3.1% of the vote. The Social Democrats argued that the centre right government had pursued policies that were leading to a deterioration in services, education and infrastructure through its austerity programs. Sweden's centre right government had supported the policies of Germany's Angela Merkel for tight control on spending.

The wave of migrants from North Africa, Libya, Syria and the Middle East to Europe in 2014-2017
06/13/2015
A wave of migrants made their way on a dangerous boat journey to Europe in 2014-2016. The refugee crisis in the war zones of Libya, Iraq, Syria and Yemen, with added migrants from Africa for people seeking a better life, is leading to one of the largest movements of migrants since 1945. It also poses problems of uncontrolled immigration in Europe, where immigration is one of the top issues in elections and in public debate-in Sweden, Britain, Denmark, Germany, France, Italy. By 2017 the migration slowed after action by the European Union countries to control it from countries in Africa.

The immigration debate in Norway
02/21/2011
The effects of immigration on Norwegian life and society. About 550,000 immigrants entered the country from 1995- 2010. Half of these immigrants are white and from Poland and Sweden. Norway has also given asylum to the poorest immigrants from places like Eritrea. And there are immigrants from Pakistan who came in the 1970's when Norway needed immigrant labor. About 11% of 4.9 million people are immigrants, but the concentration of immigrants in certain neighborhoods creates the fear of immigration among some Norwegians. Immigrants concentrate in the poorer neighborhoods of east Oslo. Because Nordic society has never experienced this before, this multiculturalism become a serious issue.

Immigration in Germany and the East German city of Dresden
12/07/2014
Only 2% of the people in the former East Gemany are foreigners, yet there is increased wariness in the east about immigration from Islamic countries. With low unemployment in East Germany there is less of the anti-immigration sentiment that has increased support for Marie Le Pen in France. Anti-immigrant Germans in the former east Germany say they do not want to see the "ghettoes" of immigrants found in some West German cities.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
