Europeans in Dilema : At the crossroads

Based on my very few and limited experience travelling throughout Europe for holidays, I have noticed few differences between newly EU member countries and the long time member of the Union.

From what I saw the people of European countries are in dilemma. for those in France and Germany for instances, they are massive developed countries with top facilities and public amenities and we can say they are among the economic powerhouse of the continent..

Be it strong militarily or economically, they are among the favourite tourist destinations and its economy boom to due massive influx of foreign investments and top services they provide..

But there is one problem. Immigration.. massive immigration

Influx of immigrants from the so called 3^rd world countries created few positive and few negatives influence on these countries direct or indirectly.. they are being brought here to Europe during the colonization days back in 19 centuries.. Hundred thousands  of Pakistanis, Indians and Malaysians went to Britain during those days.. Today more and more going there due to business opportunity, working and to further their study there.

A lot of Indonesians be it Javanese or others in The Netherland,  Algerians to France to support the industrial revolution during the old days. these labours needed for the economic demand. European countries produce a lot of product from the raw material from these countries which they colonized and the people bought here as the workers.

So they grew and plough thru the next centuries with glory and success.

Today? European still be lucrative market and dreamland for those in 3^rd world countries..

High living standard, excellent public health care, abundant housing estate and more job for workers.

3 factors keep the immigrants still in the sight :

1   1)     The generations who grew up in these countries for years, coming from their parents or families which were the labours..

2) After independence, the citizen of former colonized countries will seek better chance in their ex – imperial power country..They pay high respect and high regard for these country especially when comparing their own homeland which of course these Europeans countries be more developed and left them behind so far

      3)     Economic policy due to open free market welcome anybody from anywhere to to do business here.

But here now u face huge problem, the legacy of immigrant workers now grew up and be the citizen of ur country.. either it black, brown or what colour it doesn’t matter..send back home? No, they are your citizen.. so how?need to deal with it by hook or by crook.

During recent visit to Paris, the negative side really obvious

French really reluctant n cold to foreigners like me..why?

The answer is because they think a lot of problem already here and u just be another of it

The metros is very dirty, people in diff colour, u can see the variation but mostly black

I can see the white French 1 out of 7 blacks almost everywhere in public transport

They do speak French but still 30 – 60 years here doesn’t seem to change much. Still bring the culture form their origin country. Litter are everywhere, talking loud and make noises in metros, disrespect others , stinking alleys and stairs.. I must say not all like this and I’m not stereotyping but u can see it majority of them do not integrate well..

Out of this i can say maybe 30% of this might struggle enough to get out of the circle of poverty, but the rest?

And the one who are success now start to take over the high social public institution or business market.

I saw few Arabs and Bangladeshi run and owned the souvenir shop near the heart of Notre Dam while 1 french white girl just be the ordinary worker. This is not causing problem if all play well and be in good relation with each other but the situation might get sour when all these people will speak in their native mother tongue with their attitude sometimes contradict with the norm of Europeans or locals ( shouting or talking loudly or easily get angry and annoyed ), the locals might feel they are being driven out form their own land or their country and opportunity being taken by these people.

So this contribute to the imbalance in society..Then this will lead to more complicated problem, the politicians or some right wing group will play this issue and give birth to ultra nationalist or ultra white supremacist and as u all know where it leads.

Back in Czech where I study and Hungary or Poland for instance which I have some time spared there, u can see the diff.. clean and nice, all white and clear

Really, I bet u can see the diff between this 2 countries, the well known western Europe and former eastern block or  nowadays new central European countries

Very nice here ( new EU countries ) but as I told you  before, they are at the crossroads.

Where to proceed and which direction to sail your country?

Here people quite nice and friendly but some of them really treat u badly coz they never seen a foreigners before so they feel threatened or fell insecure maybe.

The cities not that huge, not many popular tourist spot although it is very nice old architecture and heritage, more to discover actually, come explore for yourself!

The metro and tram very old ones like in Budapest.

Money flow  just  ok, not vibrant, few business opportunities, English not widely spoken.

They are partially open to the outside world, to the challenging world market

So how?

Either u stay in these close guarded like back in soviet days where u can preserve your culture,

tolerant behaviour,  your European living style or monoculture but at same time but slow economic growth, lack tourist,l ack international community, lack business opportunity

OR

Ready to move forward to be next new growth engine and powerhouse for EU as other neighbours in western Europe with extensive network, world class facilities, high influx of money pouring in, booming market, well on and be on world map but at same time

To be ready with these social reengineering problems?

Really for me as a non EU citizen and be enhere 5 years already,I love Europe and its people, their culture, their open- minded and so on n so forth, i really feel it very very hard for them to decide. Once u decided, no way to turning it back

I really hope the best for them!
