I live in a country (Ro) that went from a horrific Stalinist dictatorship to being a self titled 'original democracy' to being a full EU member state, and all these in only one generation.

And now I realize the more democratic the country became, the safer protests became.

From machine gun shooting, to isolated incident, to being safe to take a kid to a protest.

@CosminOprescu I remember the fall and winter of '89. With regimes falling and getting more violent ending in the shooting at the end of the Ceausescu era. You have come quite a way.

@CosminOprescu @Fishercat @Remittancegirl hi. This is an interesting take.
In France the protests are getting more and more dangerous (and not because of the protestors...)
I guess it means we are a failing democracy now...
