LUXEMBOURG — If one place should be able to smoothly weather Europe’s migrant crisis, it is the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
This is the richest country on the Continent and the second richest in the world, behind Qatar. Luxembourg has experience opening its arms to migrants flocking here to work for decades. The national identity switches comfortably among three national languages, suggesting cultural fluidity and openness. Besides, few people fleeing places like Syria, Afghanistan and Eritrea would head for Luxembourg in the first place.
But money isn’t everything. Luxembourg’s smallness is hobbling its response to Europe’s migration crisis and there is a fear among locals that its resources and its cultural identity will be swamped. » | Zeke Turner | Wednesday, September 16, 2015
