Europe's centre pays the price of its own extremism, critics say

Original: Το Ευρωπαϊκό Κέντρο πληρώνει το τίμημα του εξτρεμισμού του Η τραγωδία που επαναλαμβάνεται σήμερα, και όχι πλέον ως φάρσα

Commentary circulating in Greek argues that Europe's political centre is now paying the price of its own extremism. The author contends the tragedy repeating today is not fascism returning openly in boots and black shirts, but a political culture that calls itself 'moderate' and 'centrist' while enabling extremist forces. The piece frames Europe's current crisis as a consequence of mainstream politics rather than overt extremism alone.

Why now: Rising far-right influence in European politics is prompting debate over the mainstream centre's role in enabling it.
