About
ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF ROMANIA’S FIRST FREE ELECTIONS ON MAY 20TH 1990, DEMOCRACY REMAINS UNFINISHED.
UNFINISHED DEMOCRACY SEEKS NEW, CREATIVE AND PRODUCTIVE WAYS TO GATHER AND DIALOGUE ACROSS POLITICAL AFFILIATIONS AND DISCIPLINES.
Launched on May 20th, 2023 in an extraordinary evening at the Ateneul Român, the mission of UNFINISHED Democracy is to create concrete and productive dialogue between people across the political spectrum, different branches of government, the business community, civic society and youth in order to have deep discussions about our country and region’s main issues and future.
With democracy faltering within and across borders, this gathering of minds strives to be the hyphen between worlds that typically don’t meet, even if they share both planet and politics.
We believe that democracy needs an urgent upgrade and that we the people have a responsibility to jump in where other structures fall short.

The results of this large-scale public consultation, aimed at producing an MRI of democracy across Romania and the Republic of Moldova, were first presented in the evening of Saturday May 20th 2023. View or download the results here:

UNFINISHED Democracy was launched in 2023 in partnership with The Democracy and Culture Foundation. It marked a milestone in the three-year-long Building Blocks for Democracy, a first-of-its-kind, citizen-driven project resulting in concrete, detailed policy solutions to issues linked to “the power of the people,” later presented at the 2023 Athens Democracy Forum.
Today, having just experienced the most eventful election year in 2024, we find it crucial to respond to attacks on democratic values witnessed worldwide with a creative, constructive and open debate around citizenry. Our joint effort combines the soft power cultivated by EIDOS Foundation and the rigorous data from Atlas Intel to better inform, contextualize, bridge and empower our continuous conversation.
