Usage Note

Antidemocratico is a compound formed with the prefix anti- (against). Like most Italian adjectives in -ico, the masculine plural is antidemocratici and the feminine plural antidemocratiche — note the spelling change to preserve the hard 'k' sound before -e. It is used in political discourse to describe measures or behaviours that undermine democratic principles.

Examples

"La legge è stata definita antidemocratica dall'opposizione."
