A new report published by the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung shows how attitudes across Europe have changed before and after the 2015 migration ‘crisis’ and tries to explain what has driven those changes.

But there are a few countries that have become significantly more positive about migrants, as well as a few that have become significantly more negative.
