MINORITIES PROTECTION, DEMOCRACY AND CULTURAL PLURALISM Gabriela RATULEA

The instauration and the maintenance of a stable democratic government within a plural society are difficult to be realized. The social homogeneity and the political consensus are considered compulsory premises for a stable democracy in which minorities rights are protected, or are considered extremely favourable factors for this one. Recognizing the cultural pluralism means to respect the principles of democracy, to instate harmonious intercultural relationships, ensuring that every member of the community can express himself and benefits of the same rights with the majority.
