This paper aims to raise awareness over the occurrence of citizens’ infringement rights to freedom and democracy violations occurring in the harsh times of the pandemic globally. Combatting this virus requires sharp decisions in terms of public health respecting international health recommendations. Governments must protect human rights and the value of democracy in each country to maintain public trust and gain people’s cooperation. In the health crisis and building the new future the fight against COVID-19 will not be effective and might lead to authoritarian measures. Authoritarian regimes might use strength, fear and fraud to control their people. On the other hand, democracies act in transparency, information-wise and their public legitimacy. When citizens start losing their faith in the legality of democracy for not functioning effectively, the dangerous risk of democracy failure appears. Without an well educated and informed population these governments might use the new coronavirus pandemic to promote their power abandoning democratic norms and the rule of law on behalf of drastic restraints that might remain permanent. |
