Malta records highest number of asylum seekers per capita

[Baluarte]

In 2012, there were 332 000 asylum applicants registered in the EU27. It is estimated that around 90% of these were new applicants and around 10% were repeat applicants. In 2011, there were 302 000 asylum applicants.
Compared with the population the highest rates of applicants registered were recorded in Malta with 5 000 applicants per million inhabitants. Malta also had the highest conentration from a single country with 60% of the applicants coming from Somalia, followed by Eritrea at 21% and Syria 7%.

While Afghanistan (8% of the total number of applicants) remained in 2012 the first main country of citizenship of these applicants, Syria (7%) became the second just ahead of Russia (7%), Pakistan (6%) and Serbia (6%).
Germany, France, Sweden, the United Kingdom and Belgium register 70% of all applicants

In 2012, the highest number of applicants was registered in Germany (77 500 applicants, or 23% of total applicants), followed by France (60 600, or 18%), Sweden (43 900, or 13%), the United Kingdom (28 200, or 8%) and Belgium (28 100, or 8%). These five Member States accounted for more than 70% of all applicants registered in the EU27 in 2012.
Compared with the population of each Member State, the highest rates of applicants registered were recorded in Malta (5 000 applicants per million inhabitants), Sweden (4 600), Luxembourg (3 900), Belgium (2 500) and Austria (2 100), and the lowest in Portugal (30), Estonia and Spain (both 55) and the Czech Republic (70).

In some Member States, a large proportion of the applicants came from a single country. The Member States with the highest concentrations were Malta (60% of the applicants came from Somalia this was followed by Eritrea at 21% and Syria 7%), Poland (57% from Russia), Latvia (51% from Georgia), Lithuania (48% from Georgia), Estonia (45% from Georgia) and Hungary (41% from Afghanistan).

More than a quarter of first instance decisions were positive
In 2012 in the EU273, 73% of first instance decisions5 made on asylum applications were rejections, while 14% of applicants were granted refugee status, 10% subsidiary protection and 2% authorisation to stay for humanitarian reasons. It should be noted that first instance decisions made in 2012 may refer to applications registered in previous years.

If the proportion of positive decisions varies considerably among Member States, it should be kept in mind that the country of origin of applicants also differs greatly between Member States.
These data on asylum applicants in the EU27 are issued by Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union.

It'd seem the tragedy of Lampedusa 2011 was actually hiding another problematic phenomenon.

I'd like to take this moment to subscribe to the proposal to create a forum for Malta.
As a part of my effort to publish daily articles about either global problems or Mediterranean issues, I will be adding Malta to my press reviews.

I'm sure more users could profit of it.
Thanks.

No shit sherlock, and the Italians were fussing about the Libyan crisis :coffee:

I will participate in saving all of your pretty European asses in the Maltese MEP elections, by voting Norman Lowell.

[Baluarte]

Truth be told this was a problem I only imagined but didn't really know. I'm very sorry to hear.

French news are terrible, British ones are focused on either the UK or the EU, and American/Arab ones just deal with global issues and the occasional regional problematic.
That's why I'm progressively being forced to read more and more journals.

Anyhow....how does the Maltese government behave regarding this issue?

[Virtuous]

'Nationalist' heart bleeding Catholics never did anything, only suggested burden sharing with the European Union. Now that Socialists are in power, I don't know what's their agenda.

10 years ago it was a phenomenon to see a black or an arab sitting on the bus, now you see them everywhere, husband and pregnant companion, baby in the puschair, 3 other kids running around. It's just horrible, and Maltese people are indifferent more than ever brainwashed by Marxist EU propaganda.

[Virtuous]

There might be a majority that is concerned but silent about this problem...I don't know, only hope is Lowell.

Noooo, I had the stereotype that Malta was far less brainwashed than Italy in that respect. I had even read your Navy would not necessarily save African immigrants :S

I do not know this person "Lowell" you mention..could you link some useful information about him?

Like I said, there might be a silent majority.

Norman Lowell (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Lowell) is a far right politician from Malta, he's got many Nationalist friends, contacts and followers throughout Europe. Famous for his book Imperium Europa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperium_Europa), it's an idea on to save the white race and unite European peoples...like a right wing communist manifesto.

site is down but I can link you to the facebook page

So you are a 'White Nationalist'? As far as I know Malta is a racial and cultural melting pot where the Levante, South Europe and Northafrica meet and met together for centuries. Not only culturally, but also genetically, phenotypically and racially. You speak a slightly modified version of the Arab language, after barely determinable origin of the Immigrants in prehistoric times, Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Normans and Sicilians settled on this island group. It is quite funny how you vainly try to be anti-immigrant, nationalistic and anti-multiculti although your nowadays 'homogenous' country is the direct result of ancient multiculture.

You put it so simple, this is my perspective:

I am Maltese, I am European, I am Caucasian, I live on an Island that is soon to be turned into the Mediterranean version of Haiti. Majority of my people's DNA is Western European. Language is not Arab, but Maltese, culture is S.Europan, not African or Levant. Don't come preaching about my country's affairs and go spread your Marxist non-sense elsewhere.

Thank you, fuck you and goodbye.

Whoa, Georgians, huh? They sure do seem to like the Baltics.

[Baluarte]

Doesn't matter if the Maltese have marginal N/A or West Asian heritage. Purity is never the issue regarding identity.

They're South European Catholics, the heirs of the Order of Malta. Their language might be non Indo-European, but that's not truly an issue. Nobody challenges the "Europeanness" of Hungarians, Estonians or Finnish (except when alfieb feels like trolling).

I really admire Malta's history, specially because it was victimized by the two most bothersome powers this continent has seen: Bonaparte's France and the British Empire.

You put it so simple, this is my perspective:

I am Maltese,


Yes I know. The result of century long racial, phenotypical, genetical and cultural miscegenation between Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Normans and Sicilians and the melting pot where the Levante, South Europe and Northafrica meet and met together for centuries. You whole identity is based on multiculture which you vainly oppose. Quite ironic.



I am European,

Geographically Malta is as close to Europa as Turkey and Morocco are. Only because you are seen as part of the European Union doesn't mean that you are more 'European' than Turks and Moroccans. So what makes you specifically 'European'? You language? No you speak the only Afro-asiatic language in whole Europe. Your religion? Christianity is a semitic desert religion like Islam. Your phenotyp and genotyp? Is a crossing between the Levante, South Europe and Northafrica.



I am Caucasian,

So are Indians, so are Saudis, so are Azeris, so are Kurds etc.


I live on an Island that is soon to be turned into the Mediterranean version of Haiti.

Hypothetical pseudoargument.


Majority of my people's DNA is Western European.
Language is not Arab, but Maltese. Don't come preaching about my country's affairs and go spread your Marxist non-sense elsewhere.

Maltese is descended from Siculo-Arabic (the Arabic dialect that developed in Sicily, and later in Malta, between the end of the ninth century and the end of the thirteenth century).

Y-Dna haplogroups are found at the following frequencies in Malta : R1 (35.55% including 32.2% R1b), J (28.90% including 7.80% J1), I (12.20%), E (11.10% including 8.9% E1b1b), F (6.70%), K (4.40%), P (1.10%).

You keep on arguing, I speak facts.

Whether you like it or not, Catholicism has been a uniting factor for many European Civilizations, including Malta.

This proves nothing.
Only R1b and I can be seen as stereotypical 'European' haplogroups. In fact you can find R1b even in Subsaharaafrica among the Hausa people. All others can be found high amounts in the Middle East, North Africa and Eastafrica.

Selective picture posting doesn't prove anything. Yes predominantely Maltese people look like their Sicilian neighbors but I have seen on several photo spreads 'Northafrican' or 'Levantine' looking individuals.

It is still an Afro-asiatic language and still semitic in its essence. An exception in whole Europe.

An Argumentun ad hominem in this case an Argumentum ad persona


An ad hominem (Latin for "to the man" or "to the person"), short for argumentum ad hominem, is an argument made personally against an opponent instead of against their argument. Ad hominem reasoning is normally described as an informal fallacy, more precisely an irrelevance.

Now a polemical straw man fallacy.


A straw man or straw person, also known in the UK as an Aunt Sally, is a type of argument and is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position. To "attack a straw man" is to create the illusion of having refuted a proposition by replacing it with a superficially similar yet unequivalent proposition (the "straw man"), and to refute it, without ever having actually refuted the original position.This technique has been used throughout history in polemical debate, particularly in arguments about highly charged, emotional issues.

You got the answer. Read it again and try to understand the message. Knowledge is the key to power. You lack it, that's why you fall back on pseudoargumentation tactics. Very predictable and easy to see through.

It's the clade that is important. That R1b isn't the same. J2 is barely found in North Africa, most of the E1b clades found in both Sicily and Malta as well. And even most of the J1 is of a different clade(s).


It is still an Afro-asiatic language and still semitic in its essence. An exception in whole Europe.

Language doesn't mean much regarding ethnicity and heritage.

That doesn't mean he has to invite the entire world and its people to his island. He's against immigration. So he wants to preserve his culture, good for him.
