AB  - European Union is experiencing its greatest dilemma since setting out on its project. With human
rights, democracy and freedom as its political and constitutional identity, Europe has been forced to
reconsider its strategies in order to defend itself and protect its citizens. Politicians continue to alter
the local, regional and communitarian legal system, placing legal barriers – and much more – before
non-EU migrants. This puts the community’s ethos (??s? ?o?s) at jeopardy and the fear of the other is
changing irreversibly the acquis communautaire, the legal corpus that has taken years to create. The
panic and weakness of our political leaders has not reassured the people and nor has there been any
evidence of reason or dignity in the search for solutions. The extreme reaction has weakened us all and
has undermined Europe’s political aspirations to be a major global player. The difficulty of
assimilating a large number of migrants with strong cultural identities of their own and who share a
different religion from the majority of the native population also presents a challenge to unity. They
are accustomed to an anthropological political dialectic of dominated/dominant that is different from
the European reality. Marginalisation and social exclusion will only increase as a result of the lack of
assimilation policies, as will xenophobia. Radical political changes will follow this social fact.
