Migration or Death: How to Overcome the False Alternative?
Watch another pivotal panel from the Freedom and Growth Summit 2025. This discussion addressed one of the most controversial and emotionally charged questions in Europe today: Is mass migration really the only alternative to decline, or is this a false choice?
The migration debate has become one of the most divisive and urgent challenges facing Europe. What was once framed as a moral or economic necessity increasingly exposes its organizational, social, and political limits. Across the continent, states are struggling to manage large-scale migration flows that put unprecedented pressure on security, integration systems, and public services.
