Shocking and brutal invasion of Russia into Ukraine, chaotic elections in France and Brazil, bloody protests in Iran. In Poland, catastrophic contamination of Oder, scandalous statements by president Jarosław Kaczyński and the clumsy fight against inflation. The year 2022 was full of truly dramatic and "epoc" events.

And like Adam Glapiński and his fight against inflation

Adam Glapiński, president of the National Bank of Poland, was re-elected by the Sejm on 12 May. The beginning of the fresh word of office was a peculiarly unfavourable period for the Polish economy. Since last year, inflation has reached 17.9% in October, the highest since December 1996. The Russian invasion of Ukraine and the post-pandemic disruptions of supply chains poured fuel into the fire. The controversial cycle of interest rate increases, interrupted in September, made it hard for millions of people to pay off their credit and has not so far slowed the price increase. The spectrum of recession began to circulate over the economy. Poland's inflation problems will most likely stay with us for a long time.

How's that without a chance of a majority in the Sejm?

The failure of majority by the Law and the Confederation below the electoral threshold – specified a political scenery is drawn by November polls. According to a survey “United Surveys” conducted for “Virtual Poland”, The United Right can number on only 32.4% of support, which would only translate into 188 seats in the Sejm. Jarosław Kaczyński's organization consistently loses the sympathy of the voters, with the president being primarily a "hard electorate". besides favorable to the ruling research, they present the future of the Law and Justice organization rather pessimistically. In October, even a poll appeared, giving the first place and the advantage of 3 percent points over the PiS Civic Coalition.

C how energy prices go crazy

The spectrum of colossal bills, cold and blackouts spends sleep with the eyes of electricity customers. Price increases are especially feared by local governments and institutions, including universities. The energy crisis is simply a fact, not only in Poland. The full of Europe fears this winter. According to Globenergia, private customers can anticipate a 20% increase in their accounts next year, with large workplaces of up to 85%. Although the government announces a ‘freezing’ of electricity prices in 2023, due to the increase in VAT rates and the return of the excise taxation will inactive scope us.

D like a desperate fight for climate

It began with the flutter of Van Gogh's sunflower soup. Then the avalanche began. Works by Gustav Klimt, Picasso, Andy Warhol. London, Rome, Vienna, Sydney. Recently, the paint was besides flooded with a luxury car dealership, and King Charles' wax sculpture was punched in the face with a cake. Streets and exits from factories are blocked. The majority of the actions are primarily liable for 3 extremist eco-activists: Just halt Oil, Extinction Rebellion and The Last Generation. All with 1 most crucial goal – draw the world's attention to the inactive ignored climate crisis.

E like Erdogan and his presidency crisis

Recep Tayyip Erdogan, ruling Turkey since 2003, has survived many turbulence. The global economical crisis, the 2016 coup attempt, or the conflict in the Turkish part of Kurdistan were not able to shake the function of Prime Minister first and since 2014. His authoritarian governments have not so far alienated voters who support his spiritual conservatism. This year, however, was marked by a disastrous year of officially 85.51% inflation and an highly weak lira. The impoverishment of society has undermined Erdogan's position. The polls before next year's election now propose the President's election defeat.

F like the French election; populism slowed but unstopped

In April, a presidential election was held in France. In the second round, the incumbent president Emmanuel Macron won, who one more time defeated the right-wing populist Marine Le Pen. However, he could not be certain of his freedom of power, as Le Pen could win the June elections to Parliament. The election yet won his liberal election block, though he lost part of the tickets. For this, the Le Pen National Assembly and the left-wing populist alliance NUPES strengthened. The erstwhile Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne was forced to form a number government.

Russia remains a associate for the time being, despite the condemnation of its actions by the Western world. The outgoing leaders have not made any binding decisions. 1 might ask whether specified a luxury discussion club is truly needed in the world.

H as HIT (or even kit)

Minister Czarnek's project, which was yet to reconstruct patriotism and virtue to young people, proved to be a failure. The textbook by Wojciech Roszkowski gained popularity in the network in June, but not due to its advanced quality. Fragments of the book about in vitro, anti-Semitism or nationalism circulated on the net and became the object of ridicule. Fortunately, most teachers chose a competitive HiT textbook, compared to which Roszkowski's book sells, to put it mildly, rather poorly.

And like an invasion of Ukraine

Russia's invasion of Ukraine began on February 24. At first, fewer people believed in Ukraine's long-term opposition in a clash with an army considered the second planet army. The Ukrainian army, however, exceeded all expectations. Badly organized Russian troops were beaten in March in the Kiev forefields, which forced Russians to retreat from the north of Ukraine and prompted Western countries to increase military aid for the country under attack. The following months of war brought strong sanctions against Russia, the criminal siege of Mariupola, the counteroffensive of Ukraine under Kharkiv and liberation from the Russian hands of Kherson.

J like Jarosław Kaczyński and his tour

A year before the elections to parliament, the Law and Justice Department decided to show themselves to Poland on their best side and let the president go on tour across the country. Jarosław Kaczyński travels from town to town and tells... about giving to the neck, about Germans throwing Poles off the train, about coal mixtures and many another bravado events.

L as Lula returns

The end of the regulation of the "tropical Trump" and the return from beyond the political grave of the icon of socialism – this can be summed up by the results of the second circular of elections in Brazil. The difference in favour of erstwhile president Lula da Silva was only 1.8 percent points. Lula ruled the South American country from 2003 to 2011. Convicted of corruption for more than 8 years in prison, he left him in two. This year's presidential run was highly hot in Brazil. The candidates threw serious accusations at each other. The conflict was about combating poverty, cuttings from the Amazon, and approaches to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Brazil is facing inactive unresolved problems – above all, social fragmentation and a wave of violence.

N as Nord Stream 2

The mysterious leaks at the bottom of the Baltic led to the release into the atmosphere of thousands of tons of harmful methane. Since both Nord Stream gas pipelines were abruptly damaged on September 26, it is hard to talk about an accidental failure. Swedish national prosecutors have announced that there has been apparent sabotage. The media divided into 2 camps, indicating as possible culprits 2 countries, Russia and the USA. Radosław Sikorski besides caused quite a few confusion, who, in a controversial Twitter entry, “thanked” the Americans for destroying the facility. The circumstances are inactive unexplained.

O how the guardians of OzN strike

The protest at the Presidential Palace on November 19 was another cry for justice and respect for guardians of people with disabilities. These are requests for what 1 of the banners best describes: “Let Live!” Being a guardian of OzN is simply a full-time job, day and night, besides on weekends. The work which the Polish government valued at PLN 2119. That's the amount of allowance that's received if you take an extra job.

S like Sanna Marin partying

Can the Finnish Prime Minister dance? It turns out that any politicians and publicists cannot. In August, erstwhile videos appeared on the network, where a young leader dances with her friends and drinks alcohol, the net went crazy. any demanded resignation, accused incompetence and taking drugs, others fiercely defended politicians. Undoubtedly, the prime minister, who is having a good time, proved to be a scandal on a global scale.

T like the 3 British Prime Ministers

Britain this year has undermined its reputation as a politically unchangeable country. Boris Johnson, who gained power during the brexite negotiations and strengthened most of the Tories in the 2019 election, compromised himself with many scandals, breaking pandemic rules at the head. On 6 September, Liz Truss succeeded him as Prime Minister. The fresh prime minister decided to push through taxation cuts, which the announcement powerfully weakened the pound.

In a civilian war in Myanmar

Protests were drowned by the military in blood, but supporters of democracy went to partisans.

This year's criminal actions of the junta led to consolidation of the armed opposition and increased global force in the face of humanitarian disaster. There is presently no chance of a peaceful solution to the conflict.

From like poisoned Oder

In early August, the first reports were made: “hundreds of dead fish in Oder”. Water poisoning source? Unknown. We're in danger of a massive ecological disaster, but no 1 else knows. The investigation was conducted by Germany and Poles. Separately. Mercury poisoning, sewage poured from factories, and even deliberate action were suspected. Today, the most probable hypothesis of golden algae is thought to be an invasive algae, which in hard conditions (especially advanced salinity) releases toxins harmful to fish.
