Tony Blair: Migrants must be forced to integrate further into combating the right extreme

Migrant communities need to integrate more in order to prevent the rise of extreme right, Tony Blair, former prime minister of Great Britain, has said.

He added that governments have “failed to find the right balance between diversity and integration”, while the concept of multiculturalism has been misused as a way to justify “refusal to integrate”, translates Periscopi from The Guardian.

Over a great period of time when we were in government, politics has failed to find the right balance between diversity and integration,” writes Blair in his organisation's report.

“on one side, failures for integration have led to attacks against diversity and are partly responsible for the anti-imgration reaction. In the other, the word multiculturalism has been misinterpreted as a means of justifying the refusal to integrate, and that sense of how it must never have been”, Blair adds.
