Romania, an EU member state, recently cancelled an election because the ‘wrong’ candidate won. Far from condemning this assault on democracy, Europe’s leaders fell silent. One EU bigwig even praised Romania’s example. Here, Fraser Myers explains that this anti-democratic authoritarianism has not come out of nowhere. European elites have long sought to insulate themselves from the judgement of the voters. Opponents are demonised, censored and shut out of power.
