Heavy rains hit #Slovenia in August and the #flood inundated 85% of the country. The ā¬ damages were first assessed as 500mio, a month later at 3bn, and in October at ā¬ 9.9bn. https://sloveniatimes.com/39864/august-flood-impact-estimated-at-9-9-billion
One of many #EU states with big #weather #disasters in 2023. Apart from well-media-covered France (drought, water shortage and rationing), Spain, Italy
and Greece, also Romania and Bulgaria were hit by floods and drought. Slovenia is a small country, but small ones in shock cause rips in the fabric of regional order too.
Needless to say that scapegoating is also the prescribed policy narrative to keep the population calm and to appear to be doing something: border controls against (climate) refugees tighten.
Climate protests? None. Climate action? What's that, come again? Oh, and they fired the boss of national statistics office for downgrading 2022 GDP growth figure from 5.5% to 2.2%. The evil bastard š But the government is doing something! šš
