DESCRIPTION:
Democracy in Action: Protests in Kyiv against Law 12414

In this episode, John is joined by Theo Allthorpe-Mullis, an independent journalist working in Kyiv. They discuss ongoing protests in Kyiv against Law 12414, which would centralize anti-corruption agencies under the control of the Prosecutor General appointed by President Zelenskyy. Theo provides a detailed on-the-ground account of the protests, which are a crucial expression of democratic action in Ukraine under martial law. They also explore the broader implications for democracy, authoritarianism, and the political dynamics in Ukraine and beyond. The episode highlights the value of democracy, the courage of Ukrainian citizens, and the need for global support against authoritarian regimes.
