Hungarian attitudes toward immigrants became significantly more negative during the 2015 European refugee crisis, diverging from broader EU trends.
Data from the Eurobarometer survey shows that public attitudes shifted pre- and post-crisis, illustrating a transformation in sentiment.
The analysis used a before-and-after study design, focusing on the potential outcome framework with electoral data for evidence.
