Keine 40 Jahre ist es her, dass sich #Südkorea von den Fesseln der Militärdiktatur befreite. Die aktuelle Situation weist Parallelen zu dieser dunklen Epoche auf, weshalb die Menschen ihre #Demokratie so vehement verteidigen.

Wie viele Politiker darüber diskutieren, ob man es „überhaupt hinbekommt, so kurzfristig eine Wahl zu organisieren“, ist ein unfreiwilliger, aber aufschlussreicher Kommentar zum Stand der Leistungsbereitschaft in Deutschland.
