"We have the foreign powers that want to undermine the public mind - the public spirit - the very concepts of our freedom," says Mr Tenzer in this week's interview.

Nicolas Tenzer is an academic, civil servant, author of 21 books, and editor who currently works as the chairman and editor of the editorial board of the journal Le Banquet. He is also the founding president of the Center for Study and Reflection for Political Action (CERAP). His academic interests revolve around the history, current reality and future of democratic practice which were also the topics of our #Forum2000online chat. In the discussion, Mr Tenzer explained why democratic powers need to take legal actions against authoritarian regimes in order to remain trustworthy in the eyes of the national but also the international community.

"If we turn the blind eye to the crimes they are doing, eventually they will win."

The interview was recorded on March 31, 2021, and moderated by Jan Šnaidauf, Director of Policy Planning at the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Member of the Forum 2000 Program Council.

Bad, misleading and misinspired starting point. A disappointment in a speech by a speaker with a such a plump CV, French at that! Either he is naive, a conscious liar, or a blatant hypocrite. Opposing as simplistically as he does autocratic regimes to democratic regimes (no doubt according to the US definition of the term) makes him sound sorrily repetitive, dépassé and irrelevant in view of the present (2021) state of world affairs and the more and more clear unveiling of the vicious meaning of the term “democracy ». Advocating to base any political agenda on democracy as the primum mobile, is in fact tantamount to committing a crime against humanity. Cf. the hundreds of millions of people killed since 1945 by the USA championing of that cause.
A very poor interview, in very poor English.
NB. Please not so much praise over SciencePo alumni or profs. Get informed!
