The article discusses the controversy surrounding the state of democracy in Croatia, highlighting the autocratization processes identified by organizations like V-Dem and the Civil Liberties Union for Europe, while also critiquing these institutions for their potentially ideologically driven assessments, as experts suggest that both domestic and international political dynamics contribute to the erosion of democratic norms in the country. #Democracy #Autocracy #PoliticalAnalysis #HR #SE #IT #SI #SK #FR #DE #NO #UG #CN #BW #IL

Je li Hrvatska na putu ka autokraciji?
Određeni aspekti autokratskih procesa u RH doista su nesporni. No to ne znači da međunarodni čuvari liberalno-demokratskog poretka nisu i sami veoma problematični - ni njihove metode nisu sasvim "čiste".
