(Vice) Negative views of Muslims and immigrants are widely held across Europe, according to a major survey across eight European countries.
The survey of 12,000 people from Sweden, France, Germany, UK, Hungary, Poland, the Netherlands and Italy found a widespread mistrust of authority and high levels of political disenchantment.
The research was commissioned as part of a report into the spread of anti-minority views and far-right extremism during the pandemic.
Researchers found varying levels of support for a widely debunked conspiracy called the “Great Replacement Theory,” which suggests elites are encouraging immigration to weaken Europe.
