bagaimana membina demokari di negara autoritari

Authoritarianism often creeps in slowly, like a frog in gradually boiling water, until freedoms vanish without warning. In Hungary, policies criminalizing homelessness, restricting LGBTQ rights, and silencing dissent have become law, yet local movements still carve out space for democratic action. Community-driven victories, from reclaiming public gardens to participatory budgeting, show that democracy survives through constant struggle and everyday participation. Real change comes from grassroots efforts and the courage to imagine a better future.
