There are more examples, including the entire European Union (and particularluy Hungary and Poland). Merkel was the architect of austerity measures across Europe, and her surrogates used these measures to increase the population's poverty as a result of a debt crisis which hit the area at the time of the 2008 financial crisis. A new institutional vacuum is now forming in more European countries, and this is expected to continue until the midway point of this decade. Afterwards, fascist parties will start controlling more than half of the union, and the austerity measures that were imposed by the union will continue in a harsher manner, eventually leading to more debt defaults as climate calamity hits at a greater speed.
