For almost a whole week, the streets of Bulgaria have been thronged with protesters. The appointment of a controversial member of parliament to head the counterintelligence agency, which has since been revoked, was all that was needed to rekindle the protests that led to an early election in February. Discontent still lingers. 
Son of a Swede and a Dane, journalist Viggo Cavling grew up in one of the suburbs hit by the recent violence. He tells the story of how the buildings that carried the dreams of a progressive society have become ghettos without hope. 
Italy is accused of having offered money to migrants from Africa to encourage them to move on to Germany. A scandal? No, writes Die Zeit: just the consequence of a policy that shuts its eyes to the drama of refugees and dumps the responsibility onto other countries. 
According to the OECD, Sweden is no longer the egalitarian society it once was. The rich are getting richer and the number of poor is growing, even if they are not as poor as before. But this change may not be negative, says Swedish daily Göteborgs-Posten. 
The riots that have broken out in recent days in the suburbs of Stockholm show that the many immigrants who live there have not been integrated. The fault lies with the government and the lack of political will to take action on education and employment. 
Are Bulgarian immigrants abusing the welfare system? Several cases of benefit fraud have sparked controversy. But often, the suspected fraudsters are themselves simply victims of organised crime networks. 
For the five million young unemployed Europeans, Germany, where the rate of youth joblessness is the lowest in Europe, looks like a promised land. While its system of dual training at the core of this success seems like a model for crisis-hit countries, it is not easily exported. 
The trial of the neo-Nazi NSU group is being dubbed one of the most important trials of the post-war era in Germany. The media circus around the five accused, however, is hiding the true scandal of this affair: that the NSU was not discovered earlier. - 1 of 19
