Crisis in Europe? What crisis? Here in Germany where I live, and where we are welcoming so many refugees, we have: Plentiful, affordable housing
Great public transport and highways
Medical care for everyone, including the poorest
The lowest unemployment rate for young people in Europe
Low crime rates
Very good schools
I don't know why everyone presumes when refugees say they want to go to Germany to 'get money' they mean welfare - they're able to get jobs here, get trained and go to work in industries that have been wiped out in countries like England and US states like Detroit. And in the professions of course.
There is a quiet and growing crisis here though, as there is in Hungary and other European countries. Germany is trying to solve it, Hungary doesn't want to take the only option open - so one can only wish the country luck.
Many Eastern European countries are dying on their feet. Next year, Hungary expects its population to drop by 20 per cent. Women are choosing to have fewer babies, later. A top-heavy aging, non-working population with a shrinking number of young people to support them is leading to disaster. Many people in the former communist countries of Europe fled to the West when the wall came down in '89. Since then, there has been a steady exodus of the young skilled and unskilled from smaller towns to the cities where their only chance of a good job exists. There are wastelands out there in the sticks in many countries. Schools, hospitals and police departments close down because there isn't the population to support them. Germany is one of them too, but knows it. You can buy a huge house in the 'wastelands' here for a couple of months' wages.
The 'crisis' in places like Greece, Belgium, Spain and France is nothing to do with refugees, from what I've seen of living in some of these countries. Corrupt or inept governments and banking systems, along with over-inflated housing markets and strictly controlled markets caused their financial crisis. Refugees are just a drop in the ocean.
Greece was reduced to sending helicopters to spy on people with pools, to try and collect taxes. It is broke but its citizens can retire on a pension years earlier than German citizens, about the richest country in Europe.
Spain's put all its eggs into tourists and housing and has seen it collapse in a whirl of foreigners getting their holiday homes demolished because corrupt local officials issued illegal building permits, house prices collapsing and resorts being ruined because of overbuilding. It grows veg like no-one else though.
France is just a nightmare for anyone (including natives) to get ahead unless a person went to a particular school and is a complete closed shop - it takes about a gazillion years to just take a driving test through the allowed examiners there, and a person who tried to set up a fast-track company got shut down like a shot. That's why so many young French go-getters can be found in London, England. You don't have to know the mayor personally to get anywhere there.
Belgium can't even decide on a common language, is split in two with the separate little world of Brussels, full of foreigners in the middle - and almost ceased to exist as country a while back because it couldn't agree on a government.
Many in England just don't want anyone else because of the atrocious housing situation that is just getting worse and worse. I can't even hope to explain it, but I've been part of it and it's crazy and leaves young couples with little hope of ever having a secure home of their own or even a rented one.
There are huge problems in Europe but living right in the heart of it myself, I'm certain refugees are not the cause of it. I'll be happy if my little fading town fills to the brim with energetic refugees, even if I have to pay a bit more for a while to help them get on their feet. It would mean our supermarket, stores, dentist and doctor's won't close,and I'll be happy with that. It's horrible seeing shuttered stores and empty homes everywhere.
Europe needs young people. If we're not making them ourselves, we can only hope they arrive from elsewhere. My lovely (young, skilled) Hungarian emigrant neighbors here in Germany think the same.
