AB The populist rhetoric that is taking place since not many years ago in some countries aroundthe world, has only accentuate the social divisions and self-segregation of certain minoritygroups that have seen their rights violated as a consequence of a new concept of security.This debate, as a undeniable sign of the rising concern for both national and internationalsecurity, does not justify the restriction of their fundamental rights.The groups that are being victims of this situation, in the case of European countries, aremainly foreigners and minorities, which are perceive as a threat to social cohesion and socialorder, a perception which has been radicalised through out the content of the media and socialnetworks.This situation is part of a backdrop of growing tensions, religious extremism and violentradicalism which, in many cases, is used by the government's own elite to support legislativechanges or to justify arbitrary interventions; thus allowing the restriction of fundamentalrights in a legitimate way and dehumanizing certain categories of persons believed to be lessequal, in order to promote some actions based on hatred and violence.However, this situation is not only happening in Europe, but there are also some othercountries that have suffering similar situations. The Philippines example could be used toillustrate the above: During President Rodrigo Duterte's campaign against drugs, the owngovernment was the main character who promoted hatred and violence since it was urging thepolice and citizens to kill drug dealers and drug users as a way to preserve the nationalsecurity.
