Politics as a Taboo: Towards a New Understanding of Politics
This talk, led by Răzvan Petri and Vlad Adamescu, explores how, in Romania and elsewhere, politics is often treated as a dirty word, to avoid discussing in polite society. The two founders of Politică la minut, a youth-focused civic initiative, investigate how this disconnect begins in school and continues into adulthood, resulting in a disengaged youth and a distrustful society. They will dive into the consequences of this apathy, including low voter turnout and the rise of anti-system parties, while offering pathways to move beyond this taboo and foster a healthier democratic practice.
