Immigration Backlash Troubles Europe
From Sweden in the north to Italy in the south, far right politicians -- with anti immigration platforms -- have fared well in recent elections across Europe.
Many of them campaigned against what they call the "Islamization" of Europe.
As tensions rise across the continent, many analysts point to the economic crisis as the cause of the lurch to the right.
In September, when Sweden's far right Democrat party won seats in parliament for the first time, shockwaves were felt way beyond its borders.
A country often seen as a European social model appeared to be turning against its non Scandinavian immigrants.
The Democrat's leader was triumphant.
After the results came out, thousands of protesters marched against racism.
But despite this sentiment, far-right, anti-immigrant parties continue to progress across Europe.
Many, like the Freedom Party in the Netherlands have gained votes on an anti-Islam platform.
In France and in Italy, far right parties have also made gains in recent elections.
In July, France became one of the first European countries to ban the full Muslim veil.
Many analysts trace the anti-immigrant wave to the economic crisis.
Migrants are often blamed for undercutting wages, taking people's jobs or welfare payments from the state.
Despite the political climate, hundred of thousands of migrants still arrive on Europe's shores every year.
Many are finding they're not as welcome as they hoped.
