✨50 years from today Spain could breath some democratic air after the long Franco’s dictatorship.
Democracy needs to be nurtured and practiced every day because, as Rosanvallon righly says, ‘things can go wrong’.
Indeed many things still go wrong in liberal democracies today.

💫To discuss the role of gender equality in 50 years of democratization in Southern Europe we argue in this article in @sespjournal.bsky.social - that progress in gender equality commitments is an essential component of democratisation, and backsliding in these indicates democratic decay.

La violencia contra mujeres políticas es muy grave en si misma y también porque atenta contra la democracia al pretender excluirlas del espacio público. Fundamental una respuesta contundente desde instituciones y sociedad civil
