Is Democracy Doomed? | Warsaw Debate | TVP World

Описание: Is democracy nearing its breaking point? Once the pride of Europe and the Enlightenment, democratic systems now face mounting pressure from within and without: disinformation, rising populism, eroding institutions, and global power shifts. Are we witnessing a temporary crisis—or the beginning of the end?

In this episode of Warsaw Debate, co-hosts Grzegorz Nawrocki and Małgorzata Bonikowska bring together a panel of leading thinkers to tackle this urgent question. Our guests go head-to-head on the motion: Democracy is doomed.”

For the motion:
Prof. Wawrzyniec Konarski– Rector of Vistula University, political scientist, expert in nationalism and ethno-politics
Prof. Radosław Markowski – Political scientist and sociologist, Polish Academy of Sciences

Against the motion:
Dr. Piotr Arak – Chief Economist at VeloBank, expert in macroeconomics and transatlantic policy
Klaudia Klimek – Founder of the Jewrnalism Foundation, civic activist supporting democratic engagement

Online commentary:
Dr. Ibrahim Öztürk – University of Duisburg-Essen, economist specializing in populism and global development models
Live audience voting. Heated exchanges. Big questions. Can democracy adapt to the realities of the 21st century—AI, fake news, and geopolitical instability? Or will authoritarian models win the race for global influence? Do you believe democracy can survive? Or is it time to rethink the system?
