Dans le débat public, il est commun d’entendre que le nombre de musulman·e·s vivant en Suisse augmente fortement avec l’arrivée des réfugié·e·s. Dans les faits, ce discours surestime considérablement la proportion de musulman·e·s parmi les requérant·e·s d’asile, la part de l’asile par rapport à l’immigration totale et la proportion de musulman·e·s dans la population.

Am 26.

The EU relocation mechanism for Italy and Greece promised to be the first fully-fledged experiment of “non-just-financial” solidarity among EU Member States in the field of asylum. After more than a year of implementation, its shortcomings appear as clear as the sun in the summer sky. However, it holds some merits, primarily to have shown the advantages of a better integration of NGOs in the governance of asylum redistributive schemes. The same NGOs are now under attack. Why?
