Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez warned that democracy 'cannot be taken for granted' as leaders gathered in Barcelona on Saturday for the IV Meeting in Defence of Democracy.⁣
⁣
"We see attacks on the multilateral system, one attempt after another to challenge the rules of international law and a dangerous normalisation of the use of force," Sanchez said.⁣
⁣
The Prime Minister said that a rise in inequality, disinformation and declining trust in governments are weakening democratic systems, representing a major risk.⁣
⁣
The fourth edition of the IV Meeting in Defence of Democracy is being held alongside the first-ever Global Progressive Mobilisation (GPM) in Barcelona, bringing together around 3,000 participants and multiple world leaders in a joint two-part summit.⁣
