参考译文：这些极为迥异的观点和形势使民粹主义者们把欧洲的心脏地带

搞的四分五裂，他们自称是普通民众的代表，反对那些布鲁塞尔自由派精英，这些精英在所有事务上(从移民安置到进口香蕉的形状)都横加干涉。

重要背景介绍：

2017年对于欧盟来说是一个重要的里程碑。60年前，1957年3月25日，欧洲六国领导人在罗马签约(Treaty of Rome)建立了欧共体和欧洲原子能共同体，开启单一欧洲共同市场并成功实现了欧洲团结的理想。不仅如此，启动欧元项目的《马斯特里赫特条约》(Treaty of Maastricht)如今也已正式生效25周年。这本应是一个值得令人庆贺的时机，对于任何联盟维持60年都是令人印象深刻的成就。然而欧洲的普通民众却一点也不感到欢欣雀跃。相反自席卷希腊、意大利和西班牙的欧元区危机以来，南北之间的鸿沟日益增大。2015年以来的难民潮更是进一步激化了民众对欧盟的指责和不满。在这种背景之下，反欧盟的国家主义思潮在各国风起云涌，本处于边缘的极右派政党支持率达到了史无前例的高度：法国的Marine Le Pen承诺会尾随英国举行退欧公投并重新流通法朗;荷兰的Geert Wilders也热衷于退欧，并呼吁将古兰经列入禁书并禁止任何伊斯兰服饰及风俗出现在公共场合。正如欧洲议会社会党团主席Gianni Pittella近日所说，如果欧盟不能把握时机重新创设新的积极愿景，花甲之年将是史上最混乱的离异的开始(could just be the start of one of the messiest divorces in history)。
