In the article, Valdas Benkunskas discusses the pressing issue of immigration in Vilnius, emphasizing that uncontrolled immigration can lead to significant social and political turmoil. He advocates for proactive measures to prevent such crises, suggesting that Lithuania has a unique opportunity to learn from the immigration mistakes made by Western countries rather than repeating them. By drawing lessons from the experiences of other nations, the author believes that Lithuania can establish a more effective immigration framework and avoid potential pitfalls. Benkunskas notes that immigration consistently emerges as a critical concern in discussions with mayors of major European cities, like Berlin and Paris. He highlights the challenges these cities face due to unregulated immigration and the complex integration of migrants. The article points to the substantial rise in the foreign population in Berlin and similar trends in other capitals, indicating widespread challenges across the EU regarding immigration. The author proposes that while immigration can stimulate economic growth and help address demographic issues, it must be managed carefully to avoid social friction. In conclusion, Benkunskas calls for a balanced approach to immigration policy that considers not only the economic benefits but also the broader social implications. The key takeaway is the urgency for Lithuania to develop a cohesive immigration strategy that learns from international examples to ensure stability and social harmony in the future.
