Ce șanse are un regim autoritar în România?

Romanian democracy is not on the brink of collapse but is vulnerable to structural changes due to repeated errors. EU membership mitigates regression risks but cannot replace the responsibility of local political actors. The 2024 electoral shock, marked by the annulment of the presidential election's first round, highlights democratic erosion. Romania's Democracy Index dropped significantly, indicating a shift towards hybrid regimes. The current government crisis stems from this electoral event, raising concerns about the integrity of democratic processes. Future scenarios suggest a gradual regression towards illiberal democracy, emphasizing the need for political consensus and reform.
