This is how the people in other countries are holding their leaders accountable....

 Several right-wing authoritarian regimes have faced significant challenges or fallen in recent years. Here are some notable examples:

### **1. Brazil (Jair Bolsonaro)**

- Jair Bolsonaro's presidency ended in 2022, and his defeat was followed by allegations of electoral fraud and a failed coup attempt by his supporters. Bolsonaro has since been banned from running for office until 2030 and is facing trial for his alleged role in the coup attempt.

### **2. Philippines (Rodrigo Duterte)**

- Rodrigo Duterte's authoritarian rule ended in 2022. In March 2025, Duterte was arrested under an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant for crimes related to his "war on drugs," signaling the collapse of his political influence.

### **3. Hungary (Viktor Orbán's Challenges)**

- While Viktor Orbán remains in power, Hungary has faced growing opposition and international criticism for its authoritarian practices, including judicial control and media restrictions. The EU has imposed financial penalties, which have weakened Orbán's position domestically.

### **4. Poland (Law and Justice Party)**

- Poland's ruling Law and Justice Party has faced backlash for undermining judicial independence and imposing restrictive laws, such as abortion bans. Recent elections have shown declining support for the party, signaling potential political shifts.

### **5. Tunisia**

- Tunisia, once hailed as a success story of the Arab Spring, has seen its democratic gains reversed under President Kais Saied's increasingly authoritarian rule. However, public protests and economic crises have severely undermined his legitimacy.

These cases highlight how right-wing authoritarian regimes often face legal, political, or public challenges that can lead to their decline or destabilization over time.
