Coalition for Democratic Renewal
The Coalition for Democratic Renewal (CDR), a global initiative of a group of intellectuals, activists and politicians, concerned with the expansion of power and influence of authoritarian regimes and the simultaneous weakening of democratic systems from within, is growing in influence as well as in the number of signatories. Its founding document, the “Prague Appeal“, has already been translated into four other languages, being newly available in Spanish, German, French, and Russian in addition to original English.
