In
a
fiercely
polarised
and
messy
Europe
,
destabilised
with
the
implosion
of
traditional
,
mainstream
parties
and
the
emergence
of
populist
newcomers
,
troubled
by
rising
economic
strife
and
roiled
by
war
on
its
borders
,
politics
is
turning
towards
pure
,
ethno
-
religious
chauvinism
.
Chauvinism
is
not
simply
people
acting
against
the
inherent
dignity
of
every
human
being
,
it
is
about
the
material
benefits
that
the
chauvinist
and
his
or
her
class
derive
from
the
exercise
of
power
,
it
is
about
the
perverse
way
power
is
exercised
in
society
.
Putting
fear
at
the
core
of
individual
consciousness
in
a
primitive
logic
of
homo
homini
lupus
and
sowing
distrust
among
countries
in
a
basic
logic
of
regnum
regno
lupus
are
essential
to
their
goal
of
undermining
the
credibility
of
the
Convention
system
,
further
alienating
Europeans
from
one
another
and
weakening
the
cohesion
of
the
Council
of
Europe
and
the
European
Union
.
That
same
scare
has
spurred
purges
,
blacklists
,
deportations
and
,
in
some
cases
,
State
-
sponsored
discrimination
and
State
-
sanctioned
murder
.
