The government has failed in recent years, leading to disengagement among many citizens. This is one of the findings from a commission that studied the democratic rule of law, which examines how the government interacts with its citizens and how citizens interact with each other. "It's not too late, but we cannot continue like this," the researchers stated. They advise the government and politicians to involve citizens more in decision-making, provide better assistance with issues, and not penalize harshly for minor mistakes.
