Greek commentators blame centrist politics for rise of extremism

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

A widely shared commentary in Greek argues that Europe's political centre is paying the price for its own extremism. The author contends the danger is not fascism returning openly in uniforms and boots, but a political culture that calls itself moderate and centrist while enabling extremism. The piece invokes the idea of tragedy repeating itself, no longer as farse, framing today's situation as a consequence of mainstream complacency.

Why now: Rising support for far-right and extremist movements in Europe is prompting debate over whether mainstream centrist politics has enabled it.
