Tension is heightening because people have refused to accept that everyone has the right to disagree. In this case the disagreement is over who should be respected and who should be allowed to make determinations at the national level.
Indeed, there was always this problem but it was not an issue until now. The reason is that things were allowed to fester. Then there were the releases that contained information that were damning to say the least.
This refusal to accept will spill over into other areas of life and the consequences would not be pleasant. If one believes that migration is bad now, whatever happens would worsen the migration.
But this need not happen as the signs seem to show. There is the pressure by the reasonable ones.
