It’s not handling it, is a short answer, they do not want to face the issue. Now it’s got major problems over the collapse of the rule of law in Poland and in Hungary. It’s also got the rise of the far right in Germany. I mean, the alt-right is, for all intents and purposes, fascist, and it’s the major opposition party in the Bundestag.
