France is stuck in a dangerous loop: €3.4 trillion in debt, a 5.46% budget deficit, and bond yields now worse than Greece. It is essential to stop the growing debt, yet the deadlocked parliament forbids the passing of any bills at all. To make matters worse, immense protests erupted in the streets of France, escalating the political chaos. The tensions ran so high that Sebastien Lecornu, the last Prime Minister of France, resigned just 26 days after being elected. What had gone so badly for France for them to arrive at this dangerous junction, where all paths are thorny?

Last week, the Polish Air Force was put on alert when 21 Russian drones crossed into the country’s airspace from Belarus and Ukraine. Days later, 3 Russian fighter jets appeared in the sky over Estonia. Since August, similar incidents have been reported in Romania, Lithuania, and Latvia.

With the beginning of the global pandemic, Poland’s inflation rate exceeded the upper limit of NBP’s inflation target. Back then there was a little social expectation that this situation would become a new normality, eventually turning into an infamous hallmark of the Polish economy. Indeed, over the past half-decade, Poland has experienced persistently high inflation, despite attempts by authorities to normalize the situation. This issue has been frequently raised by various political parties as an indicator of irresponsible fiscal and monetary policy.

So, is there anyone to blame, or is it rather just an unfortunate coincidence?
