Corona Cases Country Wise, The number of such countries in the world is increasing rapidly where the roots of democracy are weakening. India is also included in this. This has been claimed in a report by the International Institution for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (IIDEA). The report specifically mentions the corona virus and states that the attitude of rulers and governments has become more dictatorial during the pandemic.

According to the report, there is no evidence that dictatorial rulers have done a better job than other governments in dealing with the corona virus. According to the report, the pandemic has given governments a license to arbitrarily in countries such as Belarus, Cuba, Myanmar, Nicaragua and Venezuela to justify public repression and to silence dissent.

According to ‘IIDEA’, an organization working on democratic values, the number of countries in which democratic values ​​are in danger has never been as high as it is now. According to one of its reports, democracy is in danger due to factors such as populist politics, the use of the corona epidemic to silence critics, the practice of adopting undemocratic methods of other countries and the use of fake information to divide the society. .

Idea (IIDEA) has prepared this report on the basis of data collected since 1975, which states that democracy is now at an end in more countries than ever before. Never before has there been such a large number of countries in which democracy is declining. The report also raised concerns about large and established democracies like Brazil, India and America. According to the report, in Brazil and America, only the presidents questioned the country’s election results, while in India those criticizing the government’s policies are being harassed.

In its report, ‘Idea’ has also put values ​​like independence of government and judiciary, human rights and freedom of the media as the basis of the assessment. The report said that the most dramatic changes were seen in 2021 in Afghanistan, where the Taliban seized power even before the departure of Western forces. The coup that took place in Myanmar on 1 February 2020 also saw democracy collapse.
