Sadness and disappointment feel like autumn to me… And when I try to distract myself—by reading the news or listening to something—it only pushes me to the limit. Everything has become polarized, left or right, with nothing in between.
Everything is extreme now. Everyone is trying to impose their own opinion.
I used to be part of Socialist Democratic Party, the left, and I was proud of it. Back then, it felt balanced, normal, and not against anyone. But today, the left feels unrecognizable—boycotting sports, concerts, and so many other things—instead of engaging in meaningful diplomacy and dialogue.
What is becoming of the Left today—whether we speak about the Democratic Party in the United States, PSOE in Spain, the PES in the European Parliament, or PSD in Romania?
This is not a rhetorical question, but an honest one that many citizens should ask themselves. Too often, political debate has been reduced to choosing sides—frequently the most extreme ones—rather than seeking real solutions.
Traditionally, social democratic parties built their identity on principles of solidarity, social justice, diplomacy, and tolerance. These values created balance and gave citizens confidence in the future. Today, however, many people perceive the Left as increasingly fragmented and radicalized—focusing on culture wars, boycotts, and symbolic battles—while neglecting the values of dialogue and compromise that once defined them.
Perhaps it is time to rebuild a more balanced alternative, one where respect, tolerance, and diplomacy form the foundation. Only then can we have a constructive discussion about rights, responsibilities, and the role of science in shaping public policy.
Politics should not be a competition over who has more rights than others, but a shared effort to guarantee dignity and opportunity for all.
Science should be given the place it rightfully deserves, not undermined or boycotted out of ideology.
