Future Slovakia Forum presents a new moral-political analysis of Slovakia's democratic crisis — and the paths that remain open.
Slovakia has experienced the steepest democratic decline in the European Union since 1989. According to the V-Dem Democracy Report 2025, the country dropped nearly 20 points on the liberal democracy index in just two years.
Yet this is not a story of collapse. It is a story of choice.
A chalk revolution born in high school corridors. Fifty thousand people filling squares in November rain. Three hundred thousand Slovak voices abroad who may determine the 2027 election.
The Danube Story examines how democracies erode — not through military force, but through captured institutions, legislative storms, and the silence of those who should speak.
The Danube flows on. The decision is ours.
