Certainly, the post-COVID period has brought with it a number of social crises and challenges that we all have to face. The younger generation, not directly affected by historical events such as the domination of the USSR, may not fully realise the extent of the changes we are going through. It is essential to understand that we are at a crucial moment when our future is in doubt.
The accumulated shortages, inflation and injustices have contributed to this tense situation, and the sporadic protests are just the tip of the iceberg. However, political or ideological interests are often behind these movements. Radical ideologies, such as communism in the past or nationalism today, have generated and continue to generate tension and conflict.
Corruption and nepotism are other issues that fuel public anger and discontent. In this context, it is crucial to understand that the decisions we make now will have a major impact on our future. Distraction from external threats and excessive focus on domestic issues can expose us to huge risks in the face of other powers or international alliances.
The choices we make now, both locally and globally, are of crucial importance. It is essential that we inform ourselves and choose wisely, avoiding falling prey to obscure influences or selfish interests. Freedom and democracy, with all their imperfections, are values that we must defend vigorously to ensure that our future will be one in which we can prosper and live in peace.
