One issue more than any other that is polarising European
politics and dividing the European Union is migration. In
Germany, it threatens Angela Merkel’s grip on power, whilst from
Italy to Austria and Hungary and Poland, it is driving policies
which threaten to smash any continental consensus.

Stephen Sackur speaks to Karin Kneissl - the foreign minister in
Austria's right wing, nationalist coalition government. Are
Europeans finding their authentic voice or is a dangerous brand
of populism poisoning politics?
