https://www.v-dem.net/documents/75/V-Dem_Institute_Democracy_Report_2026_lowres.pdf

"Undoing #CivilRights and Equality before the #Law"

"The Most Rapid “Executive Aggrandizement” in Modern #History"

"Seeking to Silence #Media, Dissenting Voices, and Academia"

"Elections Remain Largely Unaffected – For Now"
