The Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted economy, social-culture and religion. In coping with the pandemic that is spreading quickly, several democratic governments, including Indonesia, have introduced policies and carried out actions that go against democratic principles.

As a result, the Covid-19 pandemic has also caused the acceleration of a decline in democracy. Now, more and more experts have said that due to Covid-19, democracy is not just experiencing a decline or backsliding but suffering a recession.
