Part 6/9:
A critical part of the ongoing debate involves the role of the media. Critics argue that mainstream outlets like The New York Times, along with other Western media, are misrepresenting the situation by framing protesters against immigration as "far-right" or extremist. These labels are criticized for stoking fear and portraying the protests as dangerous, when in reality, many citizens simply seek safety, stability, and the preservation of their cultural heritage.
The media’s portrayal, according to critics, suppresses the true concerns of ordinary Europeans and instead propagates a narrative that discredits those who oppose uncontrolled migration. This, they argue, influences public perception, often leading to increased division and misunderstanding.
