Is Western democracy under attack?
Description
January 18, 2025
In Austria, Herbert Kickl, leader of the Freedom Party, is poised to potentially become chancellor with promises to "remigrate" migrants and downplay the role of the SS in the Holocaust. Similarly, populist movements in Germany, France, Italy, and Hungary are undermining democratic institutions. U.S. politics is also at risk, with Donald Trump's refusal to accept election results and growing disillusionment with the system. Global's Nathaniel Dove discusses the growing global concern over the state of democracy.
