Why Pawel Adamowicz was right about migrants

Once upon a time the mayor of Gdansk.
Once upon a time, therefore, Pawel Adamowicz.

It is a consortium of major European cities with an active Forum of Social Affairs, which focuses, among others matters, on sharing best practices of thirty European cities most experienced in the field of integration policy for migrants. We joined the group and obtained a very good overview of the migration policy in Europe. Inspired by the experience of delegates from Oslo, we decided to visit the capital of Norway, which is one of the leaders in the integration of foreigners in Europe. We went there on a study visit

Once upon a time and never again the mayor of Gdansk.
But his words remain and, together with his killing, they show that on immigration Pawel Adamowicz was infinitely right.
Denying it and, where you have the choice, not pursuing the same values it's like being accomplices of his murderers...
