Summary/Abstract: The article characterizes seven sources of the criticism of the policy of multiculturalism in the context of the recently voiced opinions of the western European political leaders. The described sources of criticism are: the financial crisis and the need to reduce the social spending, the pessimistic visions of the future of the European culture, the globalization, the increasing number of the immigrants and their descendants, understanding the multiculturalism as an unification rather than co-existence of different cultures, the decreasing impact of the historical and political events that were an inspiration to the politics of multiculturalism and finally the still high unemployment rate among the immigrants and their descendants.
