I don't see it so much as a socialist/political issue as a new rise in nationalism, but on a European level rather than an individual country. The perceived external threat of Islamic immigration being a case in point, trade protection being another. The whole economic union thing is based on exclusivity and protection. Russia I include because of it's oil and gas.
