Romanian political vocabulary is influenced by concepts such as hybrid warfare, extremism and 'useful idiot', which describe methods of undermining democracy. Hybrid warfare combines conventional and unconventional tactics to weaken opponents, while extremism becomes a tool for social polarization. The 'useful idiot' promotes hostile narratives without being consciously manipulative. These strategies are not only local but reflect a global trend of destabilizing democracies. Combating these phenomena requires civic education and institutional transparency.
