Raport îngrijorător: Indicatorii democrației din SUA, la cele mai scăzute niveluri din ultimii 50 de ani

A report from the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance reveals that democracy indicators in the U.S. are at their lowest in 50 years, exacerbated by the Trump administration's actions undermining the rule of law. The global decline in democratic performance includes issues like judicial independence and press freedom, with the U.S. decline reflecting a broader trend. The report highlights that 2025 marked the 11th consecutive year where countries experiencing democratic regression outnumbered those making progress. The Secretary-General emphasizes the link between deteriorating democracy and rising conflict, urging that investment in democracy should be central to national security strategies. Additionally, the Uppsala Conflict Data program indicates 2025 saw the highest levels of violent conflicts since 1946, with the rule of law being the weakest aspect of democracy globally.
