Spanish Social Democrat Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is on his way to becoming a 'role model' in world politics.
It would not be an exaggeration to call him the 'New Olof Palme'. He has never taken the wrong position on any global issue to date.
40 years on from his assassination, we are commemorating Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme.
His social democratic ideas and actions still guide us in today's authoritarian populist world, where the need for progressive values and policies has never been greater.
Viktor Orban's defeat in the upcoming elections will be a positive sign for the democratic world's recovery after hitting rock bottom.
Apparently, many Hollywood horror and thriller films are based on real events.
The world really is a terrifying place! Humans are truly terrifying creatures.
Democratic institutions built over more than a century can be destroyed by a single person with malicious intent coming to power. The world is facing this reality with unprecedented seriousness for the first time.
The question is: How will democracy protect itself from now on?
My study examining the political life and intellectual perspective of Olof Palme, an iconic figure of Swedish social democracy, has been published:
"Olof Palme's Political Leadership Style and Legacy of Social Democracy in Swedish Political History"

History will demonstrate to humanity the vital importance of international law and norms through dramatic experiences.
The year 2025 will always be remembered as a dark chapter in world political history. Rising populist authoritarianism is humanity's greatest challenge. In a world governed by populist authoritarian leaders, problematic areas (human rights, freedoms, the environment, etc.) will remain unsolved.
