Migraţia ca factor al discursului populist în Uniunea Europeană în perioada 2019–2020
Migration as a Factor of the Populist Discourse in the European Union in the Period of 2019–2020

Summary/Abstract: Europe has experienced a major crisis in recent years. The migration phenomenon has highlighted the problems that the European Union is facing at political and diplomatic level. The aim of this paper is to present the migration phenomenon faced by the European Union and the Member States, also the policies implemented to cope with the insecurity created by the refugee crisis. Securitisation policies, political and economic decisions have given rise, at a rhetorical level, to various reactions to the migration phenomenon in Europe. The object of our paper is to analyse the official speeches on migration from Germany, Hungary and Poland, appeared between the years 2019–2020. We chose these states because of differing opinions to immigrants and the way in which they are perceived at a discursive level. The results of the discourse analyses show that the migration generated by the refugee crisis has divided the European Union states into two parts, those who support the measures adopted and those who criticize them, generating populist discourses in states such as Hungary and Poland between 2019 and 2020.
