If we look at the numbers, Europe is certainly the largest democracy in the world!
With its 27 member states, it brings together 500 million citizens who, with a shared history, culture, and economy, experience the same democratic journey.
Thus, every European enjoys freedoms, rights, living conditions, and a social protection system that are much more extensive than in most other countries around the world.
Democracy in the European style has become the ultimate goal for many countries. More than ever, it must continue to evolve, despite its current shortcomings and the difficulties inherent to globalization, the risks of nationalist tendencies, the rise of extremism, and sovereignist temptations.
