Abstract
The wave of refugees that reached Austria in the summer of 2015 had a profound impact on the small country, which has traditionally been seen as a foreign sceptic country (; ). For example, as recently 25 years ago, the Freedom Party of Austria initiated an anti-immigrant referendum, titled Austria First. Despite considerable protests, the referendum was signed by more than 400,000 voters (7.96% of the electorate). Xenophobic attitudes are also reflected in available surveys. In the European Social Survey (ESS) 2002, for example, the balance of the opinion – whether the country is made a better or worse place to live in as a result of migration – was negative for Austria; in this regard, Austria differs from many other countries. In the ESS 2014, the balance has become even less supportive of foreigners, whereas other countries have moved toward a more positive balance .
