what does the democracy expect from its citizens?
Answers
The Social Democratic parties are the leading political force in the fight against the enemies of democracy because the success of a political system is measured by its capacity to meet the expectations of its citizens, by its capacity to improve the living standards of its people.
Let there be no illusion: democracy is a social, cultural and civic construction and, as any construction, it needs to be looked after and taken care of. But too many of us take it for granted.
Democracy is the political system that best allows the participation of all citizens in the decision-making process and most of us do not even consider any other way of governance.
But democracy cannot be taken for granted and we must educate and defend it against those who jeopardise it, willingly or unconsciously.
Democracy is a fragile state that is weakened by the growing hate speech and by the polarisation between “the good” and “the bad” where ideology should be the centre of debate.
