移徙问题已成为各国和欧洲政治议程上以及一般公共辩论中日益紧迫的话题。如今，移徙现象及其对人道主义和健康的影响被认为是国家和超国家政府面临的一项挑战，需要采取协调一致的对策来确保公民安全。在过去三年的竞选活动中，右翼政党在很大程度上将行动自由权描述为一个风险因素，利用这一问题进行政治宣传。政治辩论的很大一部分是在社交媒体上进行的，社交媒体已经成为公开表达政治情绪的首选平台，包括那些被认为是政治不正确的情绪。这项研究探讨了法国和意大利在过去三年的竞选活动中关于移民问题的政治辩论。更具体地说，我们进行情感文本挖掘，目的是在法国总统选举(2017)、意大利大选(2018)和意大利欧洲选举(2019)期间的在线Twitter辩论中，识别围绕移民的情绪，以及移民被如何描绘。结果进行了比较，以确定相似和不同，以及对选举结果的影响，这是欧盟两个创建国的特点。
Migration has become an increasingly pressing topic on the national and European political agendas and in general public debate. The migratory phenomenon, as well as its humanitarian and health implications, are presented nowadays as a challenge for national and supranational governments which requires coordinated responses to ensure citizen security. During the election campaigns in the last three years, right-wing parties have largely depicted the right of freedom of movement as a risk factor, taking advantage of this issue for political propaganda. A significant part of the political debate takes place on social media, which has become the preferred platform for openly expressing political sentiment, including that considered politically incorrect. This study explores the political debate on immigration during the election campaigns of France and Italy over the last three years. More specifically, we perform Emotional Text Mining with the aim of identifying the sentiment surrounding immigration, and how immigrants are portrayed, in the online Twitter debate during the French presidential election (2017), the Italian general election (2018), and the Italian European elections (2019). Results were compared to identify the similarities and differences, and the effect on the election results that characterized two of the European Union’s founding countries.
