When I look back at 2015, I sometimes feel that it is easy to lose hope. A complicated war in Syria has created the biggest refugee disaster since World War II. A situation that Europe has until now failed to handle. The same Europe that, in the summer, was about to break when Greece’s loans could not be paid back and the same Europe that is now falling to pieces when Britain threatens to leave.
