France estimates that the interest costs of the national debt will increase by a quarter. Even today, they exceed state spending on armaments or education.

And migration is not just about the flow of migrants, but also about how many of them you already have in the country (see the graph). Good, hopefully someone from the opposition could notice this too, I wouldn't overestimate the government either." (translated)
Reading, mathematics, and general knowledge above the national average and comparable to Germany and Sweden. Results of a pilot with AI teachers from 171 schools after just one year...

Na východe Slovenska pretrváva v spodných hladinách južné prúdenie, ktoré v oblasti zvyšuje strih vetra. V kombinácii s vyššou vlhkosťou a instabilitou vnímam zvýšenú šancu na búrky vrátane superciel.
