Across the world, we see civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights being pushed back deliberately, strategically, and even proudly.
The consequences are devastating – for individuals, communities, and entire societies.

Democracy matters. We should not wait for the next crisis to defend it.
On the 18th International Day of Democracy, we mark the European Parliament's daily contribution to sustaining democracy as the only directly elected EU institution.
Democracy is the expression of people’s will. It lives through voting, free expression, collective action and protest.
Today, the International Day of Democracy, reminds us of what’s at stake. https://t.co/GQj3aA0tVq

“There is no single model of democracy, or of human rights, or of cultural expression for all the world.
But for all the world, there must be democracy, human rights, and free cultural expression.” - Kofi Annan
