What the source reports
For the UN's International Day of Democracy we ask: “how is democracy doing in France and globally?
” We also take a look at Le Monde's Ipsos poll on the presidential election as well as studies on the effect US politics is having on democracy globally. Finally, we will break down a common misperception that backsliding is due to “democracy not delivering”.
