Part 6/8:
The sentiment of discontent is not limited to Greece, Serbia, and North Macedonia; it extends across the region. In Turkey, protests sparked by President Erdoğan’s jailing of an opposition leader have transformed into discussions on democratic decay and corruption, particularly following a devastating earthquake. Meanwhile, in Hungary and Georgia, tens of thousands have taken to the streets to oppose government actions perceived as undermining democratic processes and media freedoms.
In Romania and Slovakia, large pro-European demonstrations have emerged against the rising influence of far-right parties, illustrating a widespread yearning for democratic integrity and reform throughout the region.
