The increase in the global migrant population, from 258 million in 2015 to 272 million by 2019, as reported by the United Nations, highlights the prevailing crisis of migration in the world, especially in Europe (UN, 2019). According to a report by the UNHCR, there are 80 million forcibly displaced people in the world, with a quarter of this population consisting of refugees and asylum seekers (UNHCR, 2020). The European Union experienced a substantial rise in the number of refugees and asylum seekers, posing a political challenge and being labelled as a "crisis."
The main objective of the study is to understand the refugee crisis in Europe and explore the intertwined relationship between populism, the European refugee crisis, and social media discourse. It examines how populism has shaped public perceptions, policy decisions, and overall discourse surrounding the crisis. Populist narratives, often simplifying complex issues and scapegoating refugees, fuelled fear and opposition towards their acceptance and integration. Moreover, populist scepticism towards international institutions hindered coordinated efforts to address the challenges posed by mass migration. The rise of social media platforms further amplified these narratives, providing a battleground for competing opinions. While social media facilitated public discourse, it also allowed for the spread of misinformation and extremist views, leading to polarization and reinforcing existing biases. The synergy between populism and social media contributed to the amplification and normalization of anti-refugee sentiments, influencing policy responses. Understanding the role of populism and social media in shaping the European refugee crisis is crucial for informed discussions and effective policy-making in the context of migration and social cohesion.
