I saw a german nurse who lives in the borders and work in Luxembourg complain about north africans doctors moving to Germany to supply Germany hospitals, which are empty as germans prefer to work in Luxembourg. This lady was ok with working in Luxembourg as a foreigner but against of foreigners working in Germany. Many people come from abroad and take advantage of Luxembourg and complain about immigration from outside the EU.
There is huge difference between same language countries and different countries. As An Asian student nurse here in UK, you really feel that barriers. North Africans and Indians speak in a very unique accent and many patients cant understand them. The German girl ain’t raciest she just wants to point out the barriers. Imagine an African has to learn the language first and then practice😂😂😂 Sometimes we have to look inside than outside✨
@@Shaftalooooo majority of north africans are polyglots, specially the educated ones like nurses and doctors, so speaking or pronunciation isnt as bad as you think lol.
It’s a interesting documentary. I’m Latin American and a lot of people think that Europe’s countries are perfect. Thanks for the humble labor with needy people ❤.
That’s because a lot of people heavily depend on the mainstream media & internet sources that appeal to their biases. That’s just how humanity functions… relying on a one sided narrative, while demonizing one & glorifying the opposite.
@@mateusborges7633 most people not just the people most of us can't even travel let alone latin america where poverty there is unimaginable so thinking about europe is like thinking about kepler 22b or kepler 15b extremely far exoplanets.
There is no perfect country, I've lived worked in Mexico and Guatemala at the past and currently live in Luxembourg but every country has pros and cons. I can say I may be had much better life when living in Mexico despite earning half as much.
Alexandra and the retired manager and other volunteers are the people who should be the Nobel Peace price winners instead of politicians, what a big heart 💖❤️
Alexandra's dedication to addressing homelessness in a country as wealthy as Luxembourg is truly commendable. It's a stark reminder that behind the glamour of financial hubs, real people face serious challenges that require urgent and consistent attention. 👏
I really do not understand why these people expect the government to provide and do almost everything for them. Can't they move their asses and find work for themselves just like any other normal person would do? I think they are lazy and are contended to just receive hangouts in exchange for nothing as if they are little princesses. When my family and I arrived in Australia as refugees from Vietnam we did not have anything except the clothes we were wearing and we did not speak a word of English. Now I am an engieneer( with doctorate degree), my sister a doctor( surgeon) and our youngest is a solicitor (lawyer). Our parents now owns 7 houses and 20 condo units in 3 Asian countries for lease. So work hard, have a frugal lifestyle, save as much as you can and invest in sensible manner. If we can do it, I do not know the reason why these people can not do it.
@@duncansmith7562she is also attracting all the drug addicts and criminals from all over the country to the city centre where they disturb other normal residents. As well as attracting homeless people and drug users from all across the EU where they cannot get such generous benefits
I always admire people like Alexandra who in the middle of the chaos of the world we are now living in have the time and energy to help, Great job Alexandra. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

@emilio1969 that's great for you, but for every Cinderella story their are a thousand stories of failure that are swept under the rug. The economies are also very very different now. Back in the day you just drop your cv off and get a job. These days, there are hundreds of applicants for every job, complete with extensive selection process.
She's not helping. These people get free healthcare and transportation which is paied by taxes. Real help would be force them to do labour work and reward them for that work while letting them time to make something else like learning or finding a real job.
FIGHTING POVERTY VS. FIGHTING THE POOR Very different philosophies indeed. The last guy was blaming 'foreigners' but not the government. Why!? Because punching down is so much easier. These 'Alpha' guys usually have the education level and social intelligence of a cardboard, that's why they go after those who already have nothing. It's true that too people are flocking to Europe for a free meal, but we can't blame people for trying to better their lives.
That's not the whole story. I had beggars in my apartment building, they would come and sleep inside the entrance. No one bothered them. Yet, they smoked inside, took drugs and pissed in front of the door. Zero disrespect for the tenants who accepted them inside. Too bad for them, now the entrance is locked during the night.
@@floopsiebraadsie5638help the people instead to complain. I grow up in Luxembourg and all these are not all drug addicts. The majority are pensioners and families are in risk of poverty!
Wait, I have 2 houses here in Accra Ghana, a business, and I tend to wonder why many Ghanaians have lost faith in themselves to travel abroad to look for work. I rent one of my houses to tenants and so not even worry them with rent. If we all decide to be kind to each other, we can have a thriving world. Billions of dollars are being spent on wars, but not to help people?
Yes billions are spent on wars because the global financial system is run by mafia elites! If only people would stand together hold them accountable like the university protestors are doing we may see change! We must demand justice for ourselves!
I agree. People should have faith in themselves and stay in their countries to help build it. I am not against imigrations, but I am against fleeing your own countrie for the hope that your problems will finish. You might have a better financial situation, but you will face so many other difficult challenges that you would not, otherwise, have in your own countrie. This MASS emigration is bad. Africans are fleeing their own country to go build other countries, as their own country need them.
if you don't collect rent, then you are not renting your property. you have given it to someone else. other people in this world are not as wealthy as you, and don't have property they can give away, so please think of those poorer than you that don't have your luxury of choices available.
She has a heart of gold. Alexandra is god-sent. She has been doing this for 25 years. What drives her, religion or pure humanity? I see the most civil culture here, how the people interact with one another, the duke came to visit homeless people and shared the same meal with them. Thank you, DW. I have been following you for years. Best wishes from Sydney.
Considering that most people working in Luxembourg actually live in nearby countries because they can't afford the rent, you imagine the magnitude of social issues there... I was also working in Luxemburg and living in France...
Luxembourg has the lowest level of material poverty in the EU. Most of these homeless people aren't even from Luxembourg, like the guy from Hungary and the gypsies.
@@OpinionatedGlobalCitizen if they're not from Luxembourg they should go back to their home country. It's not Luxembourg's responsibility to give housing for foreigners.
These are the repercussions of the COVID shutdowns. These same people who were screaming about wearing a mask are now complaining that their life is now gone and it is. If you don't own a house now, you never will.
@@duncansmith7562 renting? There is no reason why housing should be in the hands of a feudal lord class instead of people owning it. They need to build more housing units but that's not gonna happen because it would hurt the people benefiting from this situation (starting with the Grand Duke)
Yes, we are all hurting.😢 Average people. Sadly; despite the horrible worldwide man-made ( evil politicians' and businessmen) crises, why people haven't seen the signs? Why do still some people make many children? When there is global housing shortage/ downturn- that will lead us to like " Great Depression of 1929" conditions soon. 💔😢 World War 3 ultimately
I didn't know Serge well personally, but I remember his kids from our time together at the same elementary school. It's disheartening to hear about his financial struggles. I noticed his move from his previous place, but I never realized the depth of their situation.

Every country has poor and homeless people. Being a rich country doesn't mean there are no people who are lazy, drug addicted, unlucky, made bad decisions, with mental issues and so on. Maybe the past decade it has become worse because of the high influx of uprepared immigrants, but where should personal responsibility end and government care begin?
Really great content as always by DW, this was very interesting look into a side of Luxembourg most people never knew existed. I'm from NYC and this was an eye opener, I always tell people online alot of these countries aren't exactly as portrayed by the media. If you don't have a proper job then it could be like hell on earth to afford living here. I'm blessed to be born into the family I was born into and the country I was born but thank God for people like Alexandra, truly a remarkable woman with a huge heart, empathetic eyes and sound ears. May God continue to bless her with health and strength so she can continue to shine her light in such dark times.
It's shocking that such a wealthy European country, richer than in many ways than the UK. Sounds like the average earner, earns far more and yet it sounds that these wealthy people do not care. But at least in the UK, the government does provide hostels and government benefits to pay the rent to house for the homeless, especially if you are under 25. The UK does help. It can take more time to process, as there is a massive pressure with homelessness right now.
If you've never gone hungry or slept rough, you won't have empathy for poor people. That said, there's a reason immigrants do better than poor locals. And it's not because they receive imaginary advantages from the state. It's because they've seen much worse and use their opportunities.
"If you've never gone hungry or slept rough, you won't have empathy for poor people." What a load of crock. You're saying that I and countless other people are unable to feel empathy for innocent people who have been wrongfully imprisoned just because we've never been in prison ourselves. That's simply untrue. I participate in a food distribution program in my local community where I have direct contact with the poor and homeless and also have good friends who are below the poverty level so I know. Literally everyone is just a broken arm or leg or an illness away from becoming homeless. Or finding a cop in a bad mood some day looking to fill an arrest quota.
Tell that to the thousands of native Britons who've been on a waiting list for a council home for years while migrants are immediately housed. Western governments cater to immigrants and neglect their own.
A misconception of western citizens..foreigners come to their nation to take their money!how ignorant!you pay visa fees,work,pay more as a foreign student..Africans we are more friendly than western citizens
Thanks a lot for taking the time to comment. We kindly ask our viewers to comment on our channel in English so that we can answer questions and encourage dialogue. Thank you and all the best, The DW Documentary Team
Luxembourg is the financial capital of Europe. Most of jobs available needs experienced experts, professionals with skills that those guys in the street don't have. Construction industry needs people with skills that those guys don't have. Moreso, it requires patience to get a job in Luxembourg. Luxembourg is a professional country. Without a skill, you can't survive. Most of those in the street are drug addicts from Romania, Hungary, France and other EU countries with no skills at all. Recruiting agencies needs people with skills that those guys don't have. Generally, to survive in the Luxembourg, you need skills and experience. Never expect the government to give you a job. Go looking for one. Most Luxembourgers don't have skills. Immigrants got skills and pay tax to keep the government going. No need to get angry with them. Go to school, or get a skill.
If this is true, it means that the government is actively contributing to a situation in which its own native population can't afford to live in their own country anymore. Why don't have natives the right to complain about their own country? Sorry but this globalist picture you're painting is not what national governments are created for, they exist to protect and care for the lives of their citizens. Making it seem that people should not complain about getting pushed out of their own native land by market forces is such a delulu globalist take, sorry bro, borders and nations exist.
I have skills in finance, English fluent. Is there any HR employment services that grant Visa sponsorship to Indians? Also I don't know German or French & also no track record of Schengen Visa?
Oh, I agree. So the thing to do is not keep buying things from rich companies as much as possible. Stop keep giving in to alluring advertising and the smooth sales talk of billionaires. But people now think they 'need' things like Amazon Prime, as if it is some kind of basic necessity, when it's true purpose is to make you keep buying stuff regularly from Amazon to justify the direct debit payments. You make a study of your life, and you will be surprised just how often you are putting money into the pockets of just a handful of super rich. And they now try tricks to 'shame' you into buying their products, pretending they're environmentally friendly or healthy, when they are far from it. Sadly, where the planet is concerned, climate change is the new, exploitable business venture. The super rich are going to make sure they are going to benefit from any social and environmental conditions, they hire teams of people to work on exploitative ideas all the time. Whether dollar, pound, euro or yuan, it all helps them build their bunkers deeper, because they know that if the economic situation doesn't set people against them, the climate situation will.
7 years living off with tax payers money. Hungary is European country. These people could travel anywhere in EU and could find a job to survive. 1 or 2 years I could understand…. What is more worrying is when the residents who work has to take private insurance to get dental treatment fully reimbursed. These people are clearly abusing the kindness of locals. Thanks to the documentary, it has enlightened druggies and lazy heads around the globe about their next destination….
💯 20:30 but the dude around this timestamp is probably the best bet you can get, appears to be hardworking and grateful. Unfortunately they aren't all like him.
The only thing I would say about the two Hungarian homeless people is that they are absolutely unrealistic what they said. Interestingly, there are 9.5 million people living in Hungary, but they could not make ends meet. Anyone who wants to work today will find a job, because we have a labour shortage. The unemployment rate is 3%. There are also a lot of vacancies. These two people, unfortunately, are homeless because they probably did not want to work. In Hungary, there are shelters for homeless people in the cities, where they can clean, get food and shelter, wash or change their clothes. They also receive medical care. Those who do not want to go to such shelters are visited by aid workers who bring them food, blankets, clothes and hot tea. Unfortunately, many people end up on the streets because of alcoholism or drug addiction. Those two people do not represent the real Hungarian situation, you should not believe everything they say. And to say that racism is rampant in Hungary and that Viktor Orbán is a bad man is simply not true. The problem is that in today's Western Europe, only those voices are allowed to be heard that criticise the current government. They are spreading a lot of lies about our little country because it is in someone's interest. I am very sorry that people are so impressionable and do not check any information. This is how countries and peoples can be incited against each other. It is very sad.
Thank you, very interesting. We (family and friends)as Germans look at Hungary and we think you can be proud of Orban and glad to have such a politician who acts in the interest of the Hungarian people. Best wissen for you and your country.
Alexandra is a beautiful, kind and compassionate woman. Someone like this is a rare find. I would like to meet someone like this someday soon. I will come to this city and seek her out.
27:40 “Wealthiest country in Europe”, before that they mentioned how much every person makes “on average” - it’s a disservice to twist data to make an incorrect point. It’s a tax haven, the money supposedly flowing through the economy does not go to the people living there - taking that and splitting by the number of people living there does not represent the reality of who holds the money. That “wealth” is not spinning inside the local economy
Completely wrong. YOU are the one who wants to make a polemic point. Almost every Luxembourger, and I mean like 80-90% , has had his share of the formidable economic growth we had here. And reducing L to a tax heaven shows me that you don't have the slightest real deep info about our country. We have a broad hitech industry, high quality manufacturing and services, and are not, like so many people think, a micronation living of overseas billionaires. The wealth definitely trickled down, and L is probably the nation with the broadest middle class in the world.
Yeah GDP per capita has always been a flawed metric. Even without considering it’s a tax haven, the number is so high because the richest earners push the average higher. But the fact that GDP per capita is 119,000 euros does nothing to represent someone earning a fifth of that.
The figures are totally twisted. 119K per year is definitely not an average salary, it is a pretty high one, on the average you would be offered around 60K, and would need to pay around 2K for rent, at least 1-2K per month for a kindergarten and 100 eur for one visit to the supermarket. I also have not noticed any millionnaires around me in 7 years:)
My family own a consultancy business in luxembourg and business has been booming, not tough at all. So good that we were able to support my sister to buy an apartment in South of Spain. Also my parent just bought a small 5 bedroom villa in turkey. Education can help poor people however at the end of the day it is their choice
@@CoreyIsTheName Education does help, whether thats money management or even small things like cooking. At the end of the day it is their choice to practice the discipline or not. I can go to a cooking class everyday but if i dont practice what i learn and buy junk food everyday i would still be unhealthy. Its up to you to make that choice.
LOL @ pressing issue is housing crisis.... No pressing issue is the modern poltician and global elite who have intentionally created this system.... in the slavery times Whip was a tool to control working class nowdays the Whip is the homeless people and poor people... "look this might be you, so stfu work and dont ask a raise and work for pennies..." are people actually that stupid? ITS DESIGNED LIKE THIS, so bottom 20% would be poor.... in capitalist system its possible that noone is poor
There is also the other side. When high skilled immigrants, attracted by high salaries in Luxembourg, come, work and pay taxes to support the locals that doesn't work.
@@cancerino666 there are no cities without jobs vacancies. They are either not qualified for the required job. Either the available job is not the type they want to do. Either the job pay too less than what they want.
I am all against labor immigration. It destroys everything in the adoptive country. You have to feed your own family before you feed someone else, no matter how over-qualified they are. It is called survival of a culture.
It's understandable that some locals may fall on hard times, but I'm not sure how foreigners are even allowed into the country unless they have a secure, well paying job or souce of income.
exactly, before moving to Luxembourg I had to find a job first and to apply for a work permit to be allowed to move to Luxembourg. To get the work permit, the employer has first to search candidates on the local market, so I had to wait for 3 months to get the authorization. So it is a lie that the government favours foreigners over locals on the job market. Without a job I would need to leave the country once the work permit expired.
"poor" people broke into my basement in Luxembourg. For weeks they slept there, pooped and took various drugs. Took out all my stuff from bags and stole my bike. Police just took them out several times and of course they returned. Only when I installed a new door, they cannot get in anymore. The insurance haven't reimbursed anything. I don't have any pity for drug users.
@@frankyymilkyy9001 if you can afford drugs, have at it. I could care less what you do. Dont make me, or the taxpayers for your drug use. Same goes for everything else. Use drugs responsibly.
I live and work in Luxembourg, and we are not all rich. I have a health insurance card, the same one as the homeless man, but mine works differently. I have to pay the Dr first and wait to get the refund, so i have to have the money first, send the proof of payment, and wait. I do work, I do pay my taxes, and they are high. The situation is degrading in Luxembourg
most people forget that Luxembourg is the only country that has FREE (!!) public transport. day in and day out you see how the homeless get on, ride for a while and finally get out at the shelter. mind-boggling!
There's a housing shortage and poverty world wide. Landlords buy homes to profit and the super rich don't pay what is needed in order for people to earn a decent living. I say to my daughter often as we are currently living in a house share, that we will move wherever we have to go, and I don't care where until we can save for our own home. I'm tired of landlords, tax and charities taking my money. I choose not be stuck doing a desk job forever. We will keep moving and moving. Life is super unstable when you don't have your own home, bought and paid for.
You still have to pay property taxes and maintenance for the house you own. Lots of poor people forced to sell because of this. Please make sure you have side fund for this.
That’s just taking care of yourself, not solving the problem. Which is exactly what everyone else has done, and why you have to move. Home ownership is the problem. Homes are not a market, they are a public good.
There is a housing shortage because goverments ultra regulate new constructions, besides they put a 0% interest rates. That is crazy, but more crazy people blaming landlords.
I'm a hard working person in the United States living a clean life without drugs, cigarettes or alcohol. I don't have health insurance. I hope the U.S. government would give people like me free healthcare cards, but the government gives free healthcare for drug addicts and prison inmates. Something is not right with today's society and the world.
If we weren’t giving money away for wars, that were not our business, then maybe we could give everyone healthcare regardless! It shouldn’t matter if someone is on drugs, or not. Maybe if they got free mental health, they wouldn’t feel the need seek drugs to escape reality..? And often people are doing drugs, to stay awake at night..
@@Cnichal healthcare in the US is not a money issue its a regulation issue. The US could easily pay for universal healthcare, but the system has become too complicated with too many middle men that it becomes impossible to set up or change. Has nothing to do with wars.
Yhe probleme in America is that there will never be free medical care because insurance companies are cash cows. Period!! They see people as dollar signs and nothing else.
It’s interesting to see this view of Europe. As we’re inundated with travel vlogs on YT that romanticize parts of Europe with luxury views and the life of opulence people are supposedly living. I appreciate the realness of this documentary!
Most Europeans certainly don’t live in opulence. But what’s new is a housing shortage ( and associated economic issues) that clearly affects even countries such as Luxembourg despite it being a very very wealthy country.
As a Muslim, i can tell one word. Our Muslim community has to learn from this volunteers. Lot of loves from United States of America. Congratulations to them,Who's are doing this incredible social activities.
@@ilsevanheerden4976 Small fillings are free in Hungary. They are called "treatments to keep your teeth". If you go to private care that is max 10 euros because the you states pay for it. But pulling out and have implants or other cost a huge amount of money.
Honestly I hear the first Hungarians who hates Orban… except European Union members… the one who protects his country and people from migrants… simple as that…
Lots of people learn to live like that, with no responsibilities. I do not agree that any state should pay for years and years the living of people who never contributed with anything for the state or it’s people
@@rolenam33 agree. Those people otherwise get healthcare. But unemployed support is only for free mounth. If you were offered you jobs which meets your qualification in the unemployment office 3 times and you refused all of them you do not got IT anymore. Also can happen that you are offered to work as a public employee when you got some money (not much but 3 times higher then the social help which is only 60 eurs/mounth) you work something for the community...(like cleaning the Streets, or farming etc) We need to have guestworkers to work in some factories from the Philippenes and Vietnam, as there is not enough people to work. We also have shelters but homless people do not want to get in. When winter is very cold we are warned in the news (both TV and radio ) that report homless people to help to collect them to protect them against freezing?? And yes they think it is the fault of Orbán or the actual Prime minister. I think it is more psycolgical problem. But we also have problems with housing as prices went up and we need to get more support to the people. Now they started new programs we will see ...
They are Hungarian men- extremely smart (intellectual, social and practical) people. They know exactly what they are doing .....Hungarians are not stupid. Don t worry about them....They look extremely healthy to me...
Here in the USA, we have ten of millions of poor and homeless people sleeping in the street at night, while our government hanging out hundred of billion dollars of aid to other countries for military and other assistance.. Just saying.
Well why are Americans in relative more important than other people.lovong on war and starvation. Plus, America doesn't have the power leverage it has globally of it does not provide financial support for its ideologies and allies. Trump reduced.input and the consequence was it created a power vacuum that China gladly stepped into.
the military aid to other countries come out of the defense budget which means the money would not have gone to poor people anyways. Also they are receiving old military equipment, the value of which is the quoted "billions of dollars" not palletes of cash... The ignorant complain so much while being so uneducated.
In what way are they responsible for other countries' homeless people? I don't understand. I can't simply move to another country and reasonably expect everything for free. This needs more regulation. The open borders of the EU was a mistake.
Open borders of EU exist to ensure that EU citizens can move to other countries to benefit themselves. If Hungarian poor or Portuguese poor think that in Luxembourg they will receive better social facilities, then it is completely legal for them to move to Luxembourg.
@@asmirann3636 Every EU country has the right to deport other EU nationals who become a burden on the welfare system during the first 3 months. There are other rules to avoid social security shopping.
@asmirann3636 not exactly true. EU citizens can move about. I've relocated and needed to register my purpose to live in a new country. Give proof of ability to sustain myself, address, etc. I am confused by this. The Portuguese man didn't do his research first. He should go back to Portugal or find work in another country.
@@asmirann3636 You are factually wrong. The right of residence does not apply for people without a job, income, wealth or a family member with those things. You get 3 months of automatic right of stay after that you are staying illegally. Countries cannot deport you without a proper reason though, like being a criminal or disturbing the peace.
My hat goes off to the wonderfully kind hearted volunteers & to think where folks are bilingual in German & French but struggling to make ends meat is beyond me. I hope all support goes to those who deserve it 🙏
I really do not understand why these people expect the government to provide and do almost everything for them. Can't they move their asses and find work for themselves just like any other normal person would do? I think they are lazy and are contended to just receive hangouts in exchange for nothing as if they are little princesses. When my family and I arrived in Australia as refugees from Vietnam we did not have anything except the clothes we were wearing and we did not speak a word of English. Now I am an engieneer( with doctorate degree), my sister a doctor( surgeon) and our youngest is a solicitor (lawyer). Our parents now owns 7 houses and 20 condo units in 3 Asian countries for lease. So work hard, have a frugal lifestyle, save as much as you can and invest in sensible manner. If we can do it, I do not know the reason why these people can not do it.
As a Dutch person commonly visiting Luxembourg as a holiday country, the country side such as Müllerthal, not Luxembourg city itself, i can only say that this situation is going on in every western city. Also Amsterdam and Rotterdam. I can only imagine that this is a western problem. Not a Luxembourg problem. I can imagine that all major industrial European cities are facing the same problem. As for Luxembourg. I'd take a bet that this doesn't apply to cities and villages such as Vianden and Echternach and Diekirch and such. Only Luxembourg city where the money is at. So that's where immigrants will go to. This documentary is biased ass hell. Like i said. It goes for the entirety of Westen Europe. With every major city in it. Amsterdam for my point of view is a complete getto except where the money is at. The rest of the Netherlands is doing fine. Immigrants and drifters only go for the central hub. The same with Luxembourg City. This documentation is useless. It tells us something we already knew.
The wealthiest residents of Luxembourg are immigrants. It's immigrants who are paying high taxes for those living in Luxembourg to profit off of. But you don't like to admit the truth.
Agree totally, there is plenty of cheaper housing in smaller villages especially in the north of the country, but all the junkies and homeless are attracted to the coty centre just by the free food and to do the begging in the city centre
I think is clear that throughout the developing world housing has completely become an investment rather than a place you live on and its horrible the situation people aren't owners.
Renting apartments is a tough, expensive proposition in Luxembourg. I live in a 2-room kitchen-bathroom apartment of 90 square meters in Luxembourg Belair and pay €3,500 in rent per month + €400 monthly additional costs
In 2020, 64% of children born in Luxembourg were to mothers of foreign origin, both from other EU member states and from non-EU countries. If it wasn't for immigration there would be no housing shortage in Luxembourg, it only immigration that is making the population grow versus decline. So immigration is both a blessing and a curse to the country.
Yeah, if it would not be for foreigners buying those local barns that Luxembourgers sell for millions, those ‘houses’ would cost peanuts. Everyone knows the housing is kept short exactly for that reason- to sell high. This will never change, so move on.
As an American, I find it extremely pathetic that someone without ANY qualifications thinks they have the right to complain about immigrants. You have skills in something that is not in demand(and you complain about not having work). Is someone at a bank supposed to just hand you a 120,000 euro job when you don't have any qualifications to be a bank teller, much less a bank manager? Like get a grip, and get your life together. You expect to just be handed something because of your skin color or birthplace. Absolutely not.
I'm completely an outsider 😅but I totally understand your point of view. There is a reason for example why French people are getting jobs that locals cannot get. I mean employers obviously found what they needed in these immigrants and that's why they took them on. I still however agree with the idea that natives should be prioritized up to a point. If you look at policies that many countries are following, like Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and many others, it's much easier to get a job if you're a native or have been neutralized. You can get a job in these countries as a foreigner but I find many who gave up on some of their rights to get a job and that in and of itself is yet another problem.
@@rehabalsaleh166 I think because I come from a country that is full of different ethnicities, I struggle with the concept of a "native." The issue is not that natives are not given priority, the problem is the lack of a good welfare system for natives to rely on. If the welfare system was good enough, natives would be able to focus on getting qualifications to live comfortably in their own country. Many countries have this problem as well.
@@dominiquelindsay105 Yeah I understand better now. It's like a vicious cycle that will continue until the government decides to break people free of it. You need to take the essentials for granted to focus on improving your skills, but you need skills to get a job and improve financially. It's sad indeed. Thanks a lot for your comment. And yeah it's difficult for countries like the US and Canada to think about the concept of immigrant and native. I think it's about whether you're a first generation or more that we can differentiate but not sure really if that works.
As a Canadian, I think it is very pathetic that Americans will ignorantly defend a system of accounting that measures only utility for capital accumulation, which conveniently overlooks the harms and damages that result and conceitedly excludes all other forms of value intrinsic to people and nature. Let’s just account for your share of pollution, overconsumption and resource depletion compared to the people you criticize. You’ve exceeded your fair share as a human, and owe an enormous bill to those who haven’t. So why exactly do you think you should just be handed something?
When you grow up in a wealth environment and you don't even have the curiosity to travel to very different places than what you are used to, it is very easy to lose contact with reality. Most of the world population do not have a high quality of life with all basic needs satisfied: Housing, functioning sewers, safety, healthcare, education, a steady access to food and clean water. I agree that it is very inconvenient to see people living on the streets and begging. It is even heartbreaking. Let's use that negative feeling to push us for solutions. There is nothing wrong in being rich but when we allow that to happen at the cost of millions having too little or nothing, than we have a society that doesn't really work.
I live in a suburb of Vancouver, Canada, where we have increasing homelessness and poverty, with people lining up in soup kitchens and sometimes begging for food. Some of them live in little campers by the side of the road. It's sad to see that a place as rich as Luxembourg would have this kind of poverty, but not a complete surprise to me. In Canada's case, we have do-nothing government and a powerful elite who engage in real estate speculation - and they make sure there are no real reforms to change anything.
What do-nothing government? Rent control, tenants' rights among other forms of government meddling enabled short-term renting, renoviction and corporate investment.
@@shauncameron8390 If you are also from Canada I have no idea why you say this. We have very little rent control in the Vancouver area while real estate speculation is out of control. As far as tenants rights I didn't mention that but they should have some rights.

Get lost. So because foreign migrants come to Luxembourg with no money or home, that somehow means their monarch shouldn’t exist? Because a Luxembourgish Biden or Trump would no doubt not live in wealth, luxury and comfort. 🤯
for Janick, those immigrant poor people are poor by choice in Luxembourg but he is poor in Luxembourg by no choice. but it makes me think, if he's willing to accept any job then why not enlist in the army where he will most likely receive a free housing in the barracks and a stable income (and pension by the time he retires)?
Well, his ancestors were most likely there for thousands of years, using their blood sweat and tears to make the country, so I do think he should have more a claim than those who just move in. I'm sure his ancestors strove hard for their posterity, but people can't realize that.

Absolutely correct! The system is run by mafia elites since Roman times when taxes were first started. The concept of billionaires is absolutely obscene. We’re all so accustomed to the abuses that we don’t realise the blatant injustice. The concept of taxes was fair in a fair world, but not when it’s run by criminals
It's happening in other countries as well. Illegal Aliens in America get more $ than homeless American Military Vets. Seems to be some western liberal issue. Other non western liberal countries say no and deport you immediately. No free hotels, no free meals, no free nothing.
I see these people and I cannot feel sorry for them, I mean the Hungarian guy prefers to be a hobo in Luxembourg than to work in Netherlands for example where he could easily find a job that provides accommodation. Myself I was an expat in the region for couple of years but I’ve never been without work for more than one month. I’m sorry but I can’t feel sorry for these people.
It's strange to see poor people in the richest country by percapita . What surprised me more is that people from France and Germany go there to work . There are a few good people living still .who are helping out the needy ones. God Bless them 🙏
Just the same as here in the United States. The illegal immigrants watch too much television and Hollywood cinema. They think that life is like it is in the movies. When the Latin Americans and the west Africans come here and find out they have to work and nothing is cheap, they call us "racist"
Good intentions are free but the actual act of helping the poor is not. Unless you have the means with the intentions then feel free to help others. Before you have the means, focus on helping yourself first. Do not demand the use of other people's means for your own good intentions. That's a flawed virtue. Luxembourg has no obligation nor should it be coerced to help anyone in the name of flawed virtues.
I can tell you that many E.U countries have this issue of people migrating there for money. They don't like the country but are obliged for a better life. Switzerland is a country like that. It truly feels soulless

The issue with GDP valuations lies in the curve being disproportionately high at one end due to a few outliers, which skews the overall perspective. A country's GDP does not accurately represent the well-being of the "average" citizen.
@@DG-ie5ip The modern wealth structure skews the supply and demand system, as excessive money is concentrated in the hands of a few, resulting in reduced monetary flow through the economy.

@@alexnezhynsky9707 This would bring us nearer to understanding, but the data will still be distorted by those earning exorbitant salaries, which is not comparable to the income of hourly workers. Salaried employees have a predetermined income, whereas hourly laborers must clock in daily and will not earn more than their scheduled hours. A single figure is insufficient; a comprehensive set of metrics is necessary to clarify the economic standing of the entire population.

When immigrants enter into Luxembourg, never ever get out of the most developed and one of the richest country on earth. Luxembourg will take care out of New citizens, immigrants. Turks living in Germany have been living hundred times much better than Turkish citizens in Turkey.
In America, rents are so expensive. You can't afford to purchase a home due to mortgage interest rates and the selling price. Homelessness is a huge problem in our major cities. We have these same problems and the same people complaining about the problems. It is the same.
Most homeless people were nowhere near financially able to buy or rent a home... What's low income housing when you're flat broke and a drug addict. People blame housing prices like these people were close to affording ANYTHING
Poverty in wealthy countries needs to be dealt with an integral approach. Mental health, economic education, education for the job, job opportunities, nhealth access and evaluation, drugs/alcohol rehabilitation, and opportunities for basic housing.
Why accepting illegal immigrants w/ out jobs and now its responsible for locals to suppot them free????that’s unfair to those that work hard paying taxes.
I saw a german nurse who lives in the borders and work in Luxembourg complain about north africans doctors moving to Germany to supply Germany hospitals, which are empty as germans prefer to work in Luxembourg. This lady was ok with working in Luxembourg as a foreigner but against of foreigners working in Germany.

Every country has poor and homeless people. Being a rich country doesn't mean there are no people who are lazy, drug addicted, unlucky, made bad decisions, with mental issues and so on. Maybe the past decade it has become worse because of the high influx of uprepared immigrants, but where should personal responsibility end and government care begin?

Really great content as always by DW, this was very interesting look into a side of Luxembourg most people never knew existed.

May God continue to bless her with health and strength so she can continue to shine her light in such dark times.
It's shocking that such a wealthy European country, richer than in many ways than the UK. Sounds like the average earner, earns far more and yet it sounds that these wealthy people do not care. But at least in the UK, the government does provide hostels and government benefits to pay the rent to house for the homeless, especially if you are under 25. The UK does help. It can take more time to process, as there is a massive pressure with homelessness right now.
Alexandra and her organisation are a godsend to humanity.
I have so much respect for her, they spend their own time helping strange people and making them more valuable than any wealthy country in the world.
If you've never gone hungry or slept rough, you won't have empathy for poor people. That said, there's a reason immigrants do better than poor locals. And it's not because they receive imaginary advantages from the state. It's because they've seen much worse and use their opportunities.
"If you've never gone hungry or slept rough, you won't have empathy for poor people." What a load of crock. You're saying that I and countless other people are unable to feel empathy for innocent people who have been wrongfully imprisoned just because we've never been in prison ourselves. That's simply untrue. I participate in a food distribution program in my local community where I have direct contact with the poor and homeless and also have good friends who are below the poverty level so I know. Literally everyone is just a broken arm or leg or an illness away from becoming homeless. Or finding a cop in a bad mood some day looking to fill an arrest quota.
Tell that to the thousands of native Britons who've been on a waiting list for a council home for years while migrants are immediately housed.

Never expect the government to give you a job. Go looking for one. Most Luxembourgers don't have skills. Immigrants got skills and pay tax to keep the government going. No need to get angry with them. Go to school, or get a skill.
If this is true, it means that the government is actively contributing to a situation in which its own native population can't afford to live in their own country anymore. Why don't have natives the right to complain about their own country?

You're right. As a Hungarian I'm ashamed of them. 😔
The only thing I would say about the two Hungarian homeless people is that they are absolutely
unrealistic what they said. Interestingly, there are 9.5 million people living in Hungary, but they could not make ends meet. Anyone who wants to work today will find a job, because we have a labour shortage. The unemployment rate is 3%. There are also a lot of vacancies. These two people, unfortunately, are homeless because they probably did not want to work. In Hungary, there are shelters for homeless people in the cities, where they can clean, get food and shelter, wash or change their clothes. They also receive medical care. Those who do not want to go to such shelters are visited by aid workers who bring them food, blankets, clothes and hot tea. Unfortunately, many people end up on the streets because of alcoholism or drug addiction. Those two people do not represent the real Hungarian situation, you should not believe everything they say. And to say that racism is rampant in Hungary and that Viktor Orbán is a bad man is simply not true. The problem is that in today's Western Europe, only those voices are allowed to be heard that criticise the current government. They are spreading a lot of lies about our little country because it is in someone's interest. I am very sorry that people are so impressionable and do not check any information. This is how countries and peoples can be incited against each other. It is very sad.

27:40 “Wealthiest country in Europe”, before that they mentioned how much every person makes “on average” - it’s a disservice to twist data to make an incorrect point. It’s a tax haven, the money supposedly flowing through the economy does not go to the people living there - taking that and splitting by the number of people living there does not represent the reality of who holds the money. That “wealth” is not spinning inside the local economy
That 'tax haven' money flow must be stopped.
That's exactly how they calculated the gender pay gap 😂
Completely wrong. YOU are the one who wants to make a polemic point. Almost every Luxembourger, and I mean like 80-90% , has had his share of the formidable economic growth we had here. And reducing L to a tax heaven shows me that you don't have the slightest real deep info about our country. We have a broad hitech industry, high quality manufacturing and services, and are not, like so many people think, a micronation living of overseas billionaires. The wealth definitely trickled down, and L is probably the nation with the broadest middle class in the world.
Yeah GDP per capita has always been a flawed metric. Even without considering it’s a tax haven, the number is so high because the richest earners push the average higher. But the fact that GDP per capita is 119,000 euros does nothing to represent someone earning a fifth of that.
The figures are totally twisted. 119K per year is definitely not an average salary, it is a pretty high one, on the average you would be offered around 60K, and would need to pay around 2K for rent, at least 1-2K per month for a kindergarten and 100 eur for one visit to the supermarket. I also have not noticed any millionnaires around me in 7 years:)

Yes, loopholes in the system.
@@heandma The rich always have a loophole to find a way to get cheap labor.
exactly, before moving to Luxembourg I had to find a job first and to apply for a work permit to be allowed to move to Luxembourg. To get the work permit, the employer has first to search candidates on the local market, so I had to wait for 3 months to get the authorization. So it is a lie that the government favours foreigners over locals on the job market. Without a job I would need to leave the country once the work permit expired.

Seems unfair sometimes that some must work day after day, hour after hour to have the luxury of free health whereas others just get it for nothing.

There's a housing shortage and poverty world wide. Landlords buy homes to profit and the super rich don't pay what is needed in order for people to earn a decent living. I say to my daughter often as we are currently living in a house share, that we will move wherever we have to go, and I don't care where until we can save for our own home. I'm tired of landlords, tax and charities taking my money. I choose not be stuck doing a desk job forever. We will keep moving and moving. Life is super unstable when you don't have your own home, bought and paid for.
You still have to pay property taxes and maintenance for the house you own. Lots of poor people forced to sell because of this. Please make sure you have side fund for this.
That’s just taking care of yourself, not solving the problem. Which is exactly what everyone else has done, and why you have to move. Home ownership is the problem. Homes are not a market, they are a public good.
@@Rnankn
You're free to move to Cuba with that kind of thinking.
We don’t have housing shortage in my country . Stop assuming
There is a housing shortage because goverments ultra regulate new constructions, besides they put a 0% interest rates. That is crazy, but more crazy people blaming landlords.
I'm a hard working person in the United States living a clean life without drugs, cigarettes or alcohol. I don't have health insurance. I hope the U.S. government would give people like me free healthcare cards, but the government gives free healthcare for drug addicts and prison inmates. Something is not right with today's society and the world.
Lmaooo I love how people will just wake up and decide to lie on the Internet.
Try to find non profit and Churches where there's access to information for free treatments. 👍. Sometimes you find info at Court halls .
If we weren’t giving money away for wars, that were not our business, then maybe we could give everyone healthcare regardless! It shouldn’t matter if someone is on drugs, or not. Maybe if they got free mental health, they wouldn’t feel the need seek drugs to escape reality..? And often people are doing drugs, to stay awake at night..
@@Cnichal healthcare in the US is not a money issue its a regulation issue. The US could easily pay for universal healthcare, but the system has become too complicated with too many middle men that it becomes impossible to set up or change. Has nothing to do with wars.
Yhe probleme in America is that there will never be free medical care because insurance companies are cash cows. Period!! They see people as dollar signs and nothing else.
It’s interesting to see this view of Europe. As we’re inundated with travel vlogs on YT that romanticize parts of Europe with luxury views and the life of opulence people are supposedly living. I appreciate the realness of this documentary!
Ya is good because the poitician are hiden the real image,while people are soffering everwere.
Most Europeans certainly don’t live in opulence. But what’s new is a housing shortage ( and associated economic issues) that clearly affects even countries such as Luxembourg despite it being a very very wealthy country.

It's funny because i pay hundreds for small fillings. I'd like to find these free dental programs in Luxembourg!!
@@ilsevanheerden4976 Small fillings are free in Hungary. They are called "treatments to keep your teeth". If you go to private care that is max 10 euros because the you states pay for it.
But pulling out and have implants or other cost a huge amount of money.
Honestly I hear the first Hungarians who hates Orban… except European Union members… the one who protects his country and people from migrants… simple as that…
Lots of people learn to live like that, with no responsibilities. I do not agree that any state should pay for years and years the living of people who never contributed with anything for the state or it’s people
@@rolenam33 agree. Those people otherwise get healthcare. But unemployed support is only for free mounth. If you were offered you jobs which meets your qualification in the unemployment office 3 times and you refused all of them you do not got IT anymore.
Also can happen that you are offered to work as a public employee when you got some money (not much but 3 times higher then the social help which is only 60 eurs/mounth) you work something for the community...(like cleaning the Streets, or farming etc)
We need to have guestworkers to work in some factories from the Philippenes and Vietnam, as there is not enough people to work.
We also have shelters but homless people do not want to get in.

And yes they think it is the fault of Orbán or the actual Prime minister.

In what way are they responsible for other countries' homeless people? I don't understand. I can't simply move to another country and reasonably expect everything for free. This needs more regulation. The open borders of the EU was a mistake.
Open borders of EU exist to ensure that EU citizens can move to other countries to benefit themselves.
If Hungarian poor or Portuguese poor think that in Luxembourg they will receive better social facilities, then it is completely legal for them to move to Luxembourg.

You are factually wrong. The right of residence does not apply for people without a job, income, wealth or a family member with those things. You get 3 months of automatic right of stay after that you are staying illegally. Countries cannot deport you without a proper reason though, like being a criminal or disturbing the peace.
Great documentary as always! ❤
My hat goes off to the wonderfully kind hearted volunteers & to think where folks are bilingual in German & French but struggling to make ends meat is beyond me. I hope all support goes to those who deserve it 🙏
I really do not understand why these people expect the government to provide and do almost everything for them. Can't they move their asses and find work for themselves just like any other normal person would do? I think they are lazy and are contended to just receive hangouts in exchange for nothing as if they are little princesses. When my family and I arrived in Australia as refugees from Vietnam we did not have anything except the clothes we were wearing and we did not speak a word of English. Now I am an engieneer( with doctorate degree), my sister a doctor( surgeon) and our youngest is a solicitor (lawyer). Our parents now owns 7 houses and 20 condo units in 3 Asian countries for lease. So work hard, have a frugal lifestyle, save as much as you can and invest in sensible manner. If we can do it, I do not know the reason why these people can not do it.
As a Dutch person commonly visiting Luxembourg as a holiday country, the country side such as Müllerthal, not Luxembourg city itself, i can only say that this situation is going on in every western city. Also Amsterdam and Rotterdam. I can only imagine that this is a western problem. Not a Luxembourg problem. I can imagine that all major industrial European cities are facing the same problem.
As for Luxembourg. I'd take a bet that this doesn't apply to cities and villages such as Vianden and Echternach and Diekirch and such.
Only Luxembourg city where the money is at. So that's where immigrants will go to. This documentary is biased ass hell.
Like i said. It goes for the entirety of Westen Europe. With every major city in it. Amsterdam for my point of view is a complete getto except where the money is at. The rest of the Netherlands is doing fine.
Immigrants and drifters only go for the central hub. The same with Luxembourg City. This documentation is useless. It tells us something we already knew.
And as a re-comment. Luxembourg as Europes wealthiest country?
I bet that Switzerland, Norway and Liechtenstein have something to say about that.
Harsh review😮
The wealthiest residents of Luxembourg are immigrants. It's immigrants who are paying high taxes for those living in Luxembourg to profit off of. But you don't like to admit the truth.
Agree totally, there is plenty of cheaper housing in smaller villages especially in the north of the country, but all the junkies and homeless are attracted to the coty centre just by the free food and to do the begging in the city centre
I think is clear that throughout the developing world housing has completely become an investment rather than a place you live on and its horrible the situation people aren't owners.
Luxembourg is developed
Mostly by locals who came back home from making their money abroad.
Just because a country is rich does not mean it's for foreigners
What a disappointment
Correct. Are the homeless native of the country or persons expecting to come and get free things.
Renting apartments is a tough, expensive proposition in Luxembourg. I live in a 2-room kitchen-bathroom apartment of 90 square meters in Luxembourg Belair and pay €3,500 in rent per month + €400 monthly additional costs
Lived here for 23 years and NEVER seen this in my entire life. Luxembourg looks after her inhabitants unlike very many other countries.
In 2020, 64% of children born in Luxembourg were to mothers of foreign origin, both from other EU member states and from non-EU countries. If it wasn't for immigration there would be no housing shortage in Luxembourg, it only immigration that is making the population grow versus decline. So immigration is both a blessing and a curse to the country.
Yeah, if it would not be for foreigners buying those local barns that Luxembourgers sell for millions, those ‘houses’ would cost peanuts. Everyone knows the housing is kept short exactly for that reason- to sell high. This will never change, so move on.
As an American, I find it extremely pathetic that someone without ANY qualifications thinks they have the right to complain about immigrants. You have skills in something that is not in demand(and you complain about not having work). Is someone at a bank supposed to just hand you a 120,000 euro job when you don't have any qualifications to be a bank teller, much less a bank manager? Like get a grip, and get your life together. You expect to just be handed something because of your skin color or birthplace. Absolutely not.
I'm completely an outsider 😅but I totally understand your point of view. There is a reason for example why French people are getting jobs that locals cannot get. I mean employers obviously found what they needed in these immigrants and that's why they took them on. I still however agree with the idea that natives should be prioritized up to a point. If you look at policies that many countries are following, like Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and many others, it's much easier to get a job if you're a native or have been neutralized. You can get a job in these countries as a foreigner but I find many who gave up on some of their rights to get a job and that in and of itself is yet another problem.
@@rehabalsaleh166 I think because I come from a country that is full of different ethnicities, I struggle with the concept of a "native." The issue is not that natives are not given priority, the problem is the lack of a good welfare system for natives to rely on. If the welfare system was good enough, natives would be able to focus on getting qualifications to live comfortably in their own country. Many countries have this problem as well.
@@dominiquelindsay105 Yeah I understand better now. It's like a vicious cycle that will continue until the government decides to break people free of it. You need to take the essentials for granted to focus on improving your skills, but you need skills to get a job and improve financially. It's sad indeed. Thanks a lot for your comment. And yeah it's difficult for countries like the US and Canada to think about the concept of immigrant and native. I think it's about whether you're a first generation or more that we can differentiate but not sure really if that works.
As a Canadian, I think it is very pathetic that Americans will ignorantly defend a system of accounting that measures only utility for capital accumulation, which conveniently overlooks the harms and damages that result and conceitedly excludes all other forms of value intrinsic to people and nature. Let’s just account for your share of pollution, overconsumption and resource depletion compared to the people you criticize. You’ve exceeded your fair share as a human, and owe an enormous bill to those who haven’t. So why exactly do you think you should just be handed something?
@@Rnankn You definitely like the havoc Justin Trudeau has brought to Canada eh?
When you grow up in a wealth environment and you don't even have the curiosity to travel to very different places than what you are used to, it is very easy to lose contact with reality. Most of the world population do not have a high quality of life with all basic needs satisfied: Housing, functioning sewers, safety, healthcare, education, a steady access to food and clean water. I agree that it is very inconvenient to see people living on the streets and begging. It is even heartbreaking. Let's use that negative feeling to push us for solutions. There is nothing wrong in being rich but when we allow that to happen at the cost of millions having too little or nothing, than we have a society that doesn't really work.
very good documentary. would be nice to see one that's about the poverty among people working full time jobs.
It's a country's highest obligation to look after and protect its own people, not everyone who happens to walk through the open border.
I live in a suburb of Vancouver, Canada, where we have increasing homelessness and poverty, with people lining up in soup kitchens and sometimes begging for food. Some of them live in little campers by the side of the road. It's sad to see that a place as rich as Luxembourg would have this kind of poverty, but not a complete surprise to me. In Canada's case, we have do-nothing government and a powerful elite who engage in real estate speculation - and they make sure there are no real reforms to change anything.
What do-nothing government? Rent control, tenants' rights among other forms of government meddling enabled short-term renting, renoviction and corporate investment.
@@shauncameron8390 If you are also from Canada I have no idea why you say this. We have very little rent control in the Vancouver area while real estate speculation is out of control. As far as tenants rights I didn't mention that but they should have some rights.

Just the same as here in the United States. The illegal immigrants watch too much television and Hollywood cinema. They think that life is like it is in the movies. When the Latin Americans and the west Africans come here and find out they have to work and nothing is cheap, they call us "racist"
Not the case at all!
Good intentions are free but the actual act of helping the poor is not. Unless you have the means with the intentions then feel free to help others. Before you have the means, focus on helping yourself first. Do not demand the use of other people's means for your own good intentions. That's a flawed virtue. Luxembourg has no obligation nor should it be coerced to help anyone in the name of flawed virtues.

The modern wealth structure skews the supply and demand system, as excessive money is concentrated in the hands of a few, resulting in reduced monetary flow through the economy. Money must be finite to retain value. When wealth accumulates in the bank accounts of the top 1%, it implies that less money is circulating in the general economy for the remaining 99%.
