The report "The Global State of Democracy 2026" was published today by the Swedish institute International IDEA. The study analyzes democracy levels in various countries and reveals a concerning panorama about the political situation in several nations.

According to the report, political instability in Guinea-Bissau significantly contributed to the country's democratic decline. This regression was identified as one of the largest recorded in the entire study, placing Guinea-Bissau among the nations with the worst democratic performance in the analyzed period.

Why this matters

The International IDEA report positions Guinea-Bissau among the countries with the greatest democratic regression, which may affect the international perception of the country and potentially influence diplomatic relations and cooperation programs. For readers in the region, this classification underscores the consequences of prolonged political instability on democratic institutions.
