PAPER FEED NR 5
The COVID-19 pandemic threatens more than the lives and
livelihoods of people throughout the world. It is also a political
crisis that threatens the future of liberal democracy. It represents a
formidable global challenge to democracy. Authoritarians around
the world see the crisis as a new political battleground in their
fight to stigmatize democracy as feeble and reverse its dramatic
gains of the past few decades. The COVID-19 crisis is an alarming
wake-up call, an urgent warning that the freedoms we cherish are
at risk and that we must not take them for granted. (A Call to
Defend Democracy, June 2020)
Task: Reflect and respond to this in the light of your experiences,
observations and ideas.

THANK YOU !
