With the rise of populism, European solidarity risks being eroded by a clash of solidarities based on nation and religion. Ranging from hospitality to hostility, ‘refugees welcome’ to ‘close the borders’, asylum seekers from Syria and other war-torn countries test the very ideas upon which the EU was founded: human rights, tolerance and the free movement of people. European solidarity is not only rooted in philosophical ideas of equality and freedom but also in the memory of nationalism, war and violence. The response to refugees seeking asylum into Europe cannot only be resolved by appealing to emotions, moral sentiments and a politics of pity. Disenchantment with government, fear of terrorism and resentment towards foreigners weaken European solidarity at a time when it is needed most.

欧洲蜜月结束？

随着民粹主义的兴起，欧洲的团结可能会被基于民族和宗教的团结冲突所侵蚀。从热情好客到敌意，从“欢迎难民”到“关闭边界”，来自叙利亚和其他饱受战争蹂躏的国家的寻求庇护者考验着欧盟成立时的理念：人权、宽容和人员的自由流动。欧洲团结不仅植根于平等和自由的哲学思想，还植根于民族主义、战争和暴力的记忆中。对寻求庇护进入欧洲的难民的反应不能仅仅通过诉诸情感、道德情感和怜悯政治来解决。在最需要的时候，对政府的失望、对恐怖主义的恐惧和对外国人的怨恨削弱了欧洲的团结。
