US democracy hits 50-year low
A international report indicated that democracy indicators in the United States, such as press freedom and judicial independence, have reached their lowest levels in 50 years. This decline followed former President Donald Trump's refusal to accept his 2020 election defeat and the storming of the Capitol building in January 2021. This deterioration has weakened confidence in the international system and encouraged authoritarian and populist leaders, with a global impact on the stability of other democracies. The report also noted that approximately 57% of the countries included in the study experienced declines in democracy indicators between 2020 and 2025.
