Welcome, Leo Varadkar! 🇮🇪 Former Taoiseach of Ireland (2017–2020, 2022–2024) joins Club de Madrid — the world’s largest forum of democratic former leaders. 🌍 More: clubmadrid.org/former-irish... #LeoVaradkar #ClubdeMadrid #Leadership #Democracy #Ireland

I had the honor of serving on a panel with Prime Minister Mara of @clubdemadrid.bsky.social This is a tragic example of how quickly democratic foundations crumble and dissenting political speech becomes grounds for imprisonment. Americans should not think that it "could never happen here."

Moussa Mara, the PM for eight months in 2014-2015, has been charged with ‘undermining the credibility of the state’.

Club de Madrid is deeply concerned by the detention of its Member, Moussa Mara in Mali after expressing support for prisoners of conscience. Criminalising peaceful speech undermines any credible democratic transition. 👉 clubmadrid.org/statement-by... #Mali #Democracy #HumanRights #ClubdeMadrid
