Abstract: Collectivist values, based on the idea of egalitarian social compromise, tend to break. For those profiles which have made up the traditional working class, social closure is a defence mechanism against competition for redistribution, which is reflected in negative views toward immigration. For those making up the middle class, with high levels of education, high incomes and upper middle positions, opinion on immigration and demand for solidarity is not a preferred option because they rely on the success of their individual trajectories
