On the occasion of Democracy Day, it is very pertinent to ask whether the ideal political system is in danger already in the 21st century. If it is, it is not because of military coups, as it was in the past, but because of elected leaders with autocratic and populist, seeking to subvert democracy to increase their power, as the American political scientists Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt expose in their book “How Democracies Die”. The approach is obviously valid for former US President Donald Trump (to whom many chapters are devoted), who remains politically in force and continues to be a threat to democracy. At the Latin American level, there are the cases of Nicolás Maduro and Daniel Ortega; in Europe, Vladimir Putin.
