    SATURDAY, JAN 28, 2023 – 07:45 AM
    Update (0845ET):

    Protests flared up Friday night across the US following the release of the Tyre Nichols bodycam footage. Some demonstrations were peaceful, while others were not. Antifa militants were spotted at some of the marches.

    Last night, protesters brought Times Square to a halt.

    At least one person thought it was a good idea to break the windshield of an NYPD Traffic vehicle.

    Then unrest broke out between protesters and police.

    One motorist in Seattle was furious about protesters blocking the street. He said:

    “Get out the street. Y’all can go protest that shit on the sidewalk. I don’t care. It’s stupid, get out the street. People got places to go. That don’t solve nothing.”

    Some claim Antifa militants were marching in downtown Seattle.

    Chaotic scenes in Los Angeles.

    Large crowds shut down the Interstate 55 bridge connecting Tennessee and Arkansas.

    Ahead of the demonstrations, President Bided called for ‘peaceful protests.’

    Daily Mail reported protests were seen across the US.

    The US could be gearing up for a weekend of chaos.

    Authored by Katabella Roberts via The Epoch Times,

    Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp declared a state of emergency on Jan. 26, allowing up to 1,000 Georgia National Guard troops to be bought in to help deal with violent protests that have broken out in recent weeks, with further demonstrations anticipated over the weekend.

    The declaration is effective immediately and will expire on Feb. 9, unless extended by the governor.

    Specifically, the state of emergency is being activated owing to “unlawful assemblage, violence, overt threats of violence, disruption of the peace and tranquility of this state, and danger existing to persons and property,” according to the declaration, under which all resources of the state of Georgia will be made available to assist in the ongoing response to the state of emergency.

    Kemp, a Republican, declared the emergency following a weekend of protests in downtown Atlanta that quickly turned violent.

    Masked rioters lit fireworks in front of the Atlanta Police Foundation, shattering large glass windows and vandalizing walls with anti-police graffiti.

    At least three businesses were damaged when bricks and rocks were thrown at properties, according to local reports. In some instances, protesters used hammers to smash windows. A number of police vehicles were also attacked during the protests and at least one was set on fire, according to the reports.

    Protests Turn Violent
    “Masked activists threw rocks, launched fireworks, and burned a police vehicle in front of the Atlanta Police Foundation office building,” Kemp’s declaration read. “Georgians respect peaceful protests, but do not tolerate acts of violence against persons or property.”

    Six people were subsequently arrested following the weekend demonstrations and given multiple charges, including domestic terrorism.

    At a press conference on Jan. 21, Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens told reporters that some of the individuals had explosives on them.

    The protests in Atlanta came in response to the death of Manuel Teran, 26, who was killed on Jan. 18 as authorities attempted to clear a group of demonstrators from an area that is set to be the future Atlanta Public Safety Training Center. Activists have been protesting at the site for months and have dubbed it “Cop City.”

    Teran was reportedly helping to lead the protests when he allegedly shot and wounded a Georgia state trooper and was killed when police returned fire, according to a statement from the Georgia Bureau of Investigations.

    “Officers gave verbal commands to the man who did not comply and shot a Georgia State Patrol Trooper. Other law enforcement officers returned fire, hitting the man. Law enforcement evacuated the Trooper to a safe area. The man died on scene,” the statement reads.

    However, friends of Teran claim that they were peacefully protesting in the area.

    Police Charged in Murder of Tyre Nichols
    Kemp’s emergency declaration comes as more protests are widely expected this weekend after the five police officers accused of killing a black man during a traffic stop on Jan. 10 were charged with second-degree murder.

    Memphis Police Department officers Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley, Emmitt Martin III, Desmond Mills Jr., and Justin Smith, who are all black and who have since been fired, were accused of beating 29-year-old Tyre Nichols to death during a Jan. 7 traffic stop.

    Nichols died of his injuries three days later.

    On Thursday, the Shelby County district attorney announced he would release footage of the arrest on Friday after 7 p.m. ET. A lawyer for Nichols’s family, Antonio Romanucci, described the footage as an “unadulterated, unabashed, non-stop beating of this young boy for three minutes,” adding, “he was a human piñata for those police officers.”

    Atlanta Police released a statement to multiple media outlets on Thursday afternoon stating that they are “closely monitoring the events in Memphis and are prepared to support peaceful protests in our city.”

    “We understand and share in the outrage surrounding the death of Tyre Nichols,” the statement continued. “Police officers are expected to conduct themselves in a compassionate, competent, and constitutional manner and these officers failed Tyre, their communities, and their profession. We ask that demonstrations be safe and peaceful.”

  2. New York Times Argues that Classified Documents Are No Big Deal Unless President Trump Is Involved

    The Deep State FBI influenced New York Times is attempting to build their case on classified documents. They are no big deal unless you are President Trump.

    The TGP has reported since the Deep State FBI’s illegal raid on President Trump’s home that he had every right to take with him the documents he wanted to take per the Presidential Records Act. He also had the ability to classify or declassify any documents he wished while President.

    Attorney Mike Davis shared this right after the FBI raid.

    Davis served under Justice Gorsuch as well as Senator Grassley. He is consistent in his reasoning about classified documents and Biden. Biden stole the documents found in his possession since he had these since he was Obama’s Vice President. Biden had no right as Vice President to pilfer classified documents.

    The GOP is gearing up for investigations into the Biden Administration.

    According to a new report, the House Judiciary Committee and Weaponization of the federal government Committee plan to adopt a rule allowing them to issue subpoenas without consulting Democrats.

    This will allow both committees to expedite the process of issuing subpoenas.

    CNN

    The GOP-led House Judiciary Committee and select subcommittee on the so-called weaponization of the federal government plan to adopt a rule that will allow Republican members to issue subpoenas without consulting Democrats days ahead of time, according to three sources familiar with the matter.

    The plan, articulated to GOP members of the select subcommittee by its top Republican Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio during their first meeting Friday, will expedite the subpoena process as both panels move forward with probes of the Biden administration, two of the sources said.

But climate scolds aren’t just looking to ban your gas stove, America. They have a long list of other appliances they want canceled, too.

  7. The Paul Pelosi attack coverup was another instance of the Democrats rigging the 2022 midterms
    By Rajan Laad
    For any given election, it is customary to expect some falsehoods. An occasional overstatement of accomplishments, the underplaying of shortcomings, the mischaracterization of statements of opponents. All of this is political theatre.

    While candidates and campaigns fabricate, government agencies must serve as watchdogs to reveal complete and factual information to every citizen so that they can freely decide whom to vote for.

    Why is it necessary to state the obvious?

    Because matters have obviously gone haywire.

    Just yesterday, following a court order, footage of the attack on Paul Pelosi at his San Francisco home was made public. The details were thoroughly covered by Andrea Widberg in her recent piece. There are open questions and no clear answers about some aspects of the occurrences that night. The reason citizens should be concerned about it is because the incident was used to push a narrative prior to the midterm elections.

    This wasn’t just a few conspiracy theorists blogging from their basements, it was a Democrat and media blitzkrieg.

    Joe Biden described the attack as “despicable,” and denounced a corrosive political climate for contributing to violence. He baselessly claimed that the attack appeared to be “intended for Nancy.”

  8. the epoch times Pfizer Responds After Director Says Company Is Developing Ways to Mutate COVID-19

    Pfizer late Jan. 28 responded to comments from a director at the company about exploring ways to mutate COVID-19 as a method to “preemptively develop new vaccines.”

    “In the ongoing development of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, Pfizer has not conducted gain of function or directed evolution research,” Pfizer said in a lengthy written statement after days of ignoring queries from The Epoch Times and other outlets.

    Pfizer did say that it has conducted research “where the original SARS-CoV-2 virus has been used to express the spike protein from new variants of concern.”

    “This work is undertaken once a new variant of concern has been identified by public health authorities. This research provides a way for us to rapidly assess the ability of an existing vaccine to induce antibodies that neutralize a newly identified variant of concern. We then make this data available through peer reviewed scientific journals and use it as one of the steps to determine whether a vaccine update is required,” the company added.

    Pfizer did say it has conducted experiments in a level 3 laboratory.

    Pfizer said, in its work developing a treatment for COVID-19, it has “engineered” the COVID-19 virus “to enable the assessment of antiviral activity in cells.”

    “In addition, in vitro resistance selection experiments are undertaken in cells incubated with SARS-CoV-2 and nirmatrelvir in our secure Biosafety level 3 (BSL3) laboratory to assess whether the main protease can mutate to yield resistant strains of the virus,” Pfizer said. “It is important to note that these studies are required by U.S. and global regulators for all antiviral products and are carried out by many companies and academic institutions in the U.S. and around the world.”

    Pfizer produces a COVID-19 treatment called Paxlovid, or nirmatrelvir that is authorized in the United States and some other countries.

    In its statement, Pfizer did not dispute that Dr. Jordon Walker, who told a Project Veritas journalist that Pfizer is exploring how to “mutate” the COVID-19 virus, was or is a Pfizer employee.

    Professional profiles for Walker, which have since been taken down, listed him as a director of messenger RNA research at the company. Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine utilizes messenger RNA. The profiles also listed a Pfizer email address, and an email sent to that address did not bounce back. A receptionist at Pfizer on Thursday also told The Epoch Times that Walker had an internal company profile, but a different receptionist on Friday said there was no listing for the doctor, indicating he might have been terminated after the comments were made public.

    Malone
    Dr. Robert Malone, who helped develop the messenger RNA technology, said that the experiments Pfizer described met the definition of “gain of function.”

    “Pfizer is basically acknowledging that they are doing the same type of gain of function research that Boston University was caught doing, but they are denying that it is gain of function or directed evolution,” Malone wrote on Twitter.

    Malone pointed to Pfizer’s comment about taking the original SARS-CoV-2 virus and using it “to express the spike protein from new variants of concern.”

    Gain of function generally describes experiments that aim to increase functions of a virus such as transmissibility and virulence. Walker had said in his comments that the work he was describing was not gain of function, but “directed evolution.”

    Researchers with Boston University revealed in 2022 that they had developed a strain of COVID-19 that killed 80 percent of mice infected with it.

    The U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) is supposed to oversee risky research conducted in or funded by the United States but has faced criticism for only reviewing a handful of projects—none since 2019—under the oversight system.

    The NIH funded gain of function experiments at the Wuhan laboratory situated near where the first COVID-19 cases were identified, and officials have promised to keep funding research in China.

    Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) had written a letter to Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla referring to Walker’s remarks and questioning whether the company has or is planning to mutate the COVID-19 virus.

    Walker’s comments “are alarming,” Rubio wrote in the Jan. 26 missive.

    YouTube Takes Down Video

    In a notice sent to Project Veritas, YouTube cited its medical misinformation policy, which bars “claims about COVID-19 vaccination that contradict expert consensus from local health authorities or the World Health Organization (WHO).”

    It wasn’t clear which authorities specifically YouTube was relying upon to rebut the video.

    YouTube, which is owned by Google, did not respond to a request for comment.

    O’Keefe noted that the claims in the video were made by a Pfizer director.

    Project Veritas was given a “strike,” which prevents the organization from taking actions like uploading new videos for one week. A second strike would block such actions for two weeks and a third strike in a 90-day period would result in a permanent removal of the group’s account, YouTube warned.

    The video is still available in other places, including on Twitter and Rumble.

    Rumble said in a statement that the company “will hold the line against this outrageous censorship by keeping the video up and even featuring it on our homepage.”

    After the Project Veritas video was first published, searching Google for it would turn up a message that “the results below are changing quickly” and that “if this topic is new, it can sometimes take time for reliable sources to publish information.” Further, evidence of Walker’s LinkedIn didn’t show up when searching for him. On DuckDuckGo, the deleted LinkedIn profile was the top result.

    Pfizer Responds to Research Claims
    Friday, January 27, 2023 – 08:00pm

    New York, N.Y., January 27, 2023 – Allegations have recently been made related to gain of function and directed evolution research at Pfizer and the company would like to set the record straight.

    In the ongoing development of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, Pfizer has not conducted gain of function or directed evolution research. Working with collaborators, we have conducted research where the original SARS-CoV-2 virus has been used to express the spike protein from new variants of concern. This work is undertaken once a new variant of concern has been identified by public health authorities. This research provides a way for us to rapidly assess the ability of an existing vaccine to induce antibodies that neutralize a newly identified variant of concern. We then make this data available through peer reviewed scientific journals and use it as one of the steps to determine whether a vaccine update is required.

    In addition, to meet U.S. and global regulatory requirements for our oral treatment, PAXLOVID™, Pfizer undertakes in vitro work (e.g., in a laboratory culture dish) to identify potential resistance mutations to nirmatrelvir, one of PAXLOVID’s two components. With a naturally evolving virus, it is important to routinely assess the activity of an antiviral. Most of this work is conducted using computer simulations or mutations of the main protease–a non-infectious part of the virus. In a limited number of cases when a full virus does not contain any known gain of function mutations, such virus may be engineered to enable the assessment of antiviral activity in cells. In addition, in vitro resistance selection experiments are undertaken in cells incubated with SARS-CoV-2 and nirmatrelvir in our secure Biosafety level 3 (BSL3) laboratory to assess whether the main protease can mutate to yield resistant strains of the virus. It is important to note that these studies are required by U.S. and global regulators for all antiviral products and are carried out by many companies and academic institutions in the U.S. and around the world.

    Fact-based information rooted in sound science is vitally important to overcoming the COVID-19 pandemic and Pfizer remains committed to transparency and helping alleviate the devastating burden of this disease.

    Far-left Congresswoman Cori Bush has issued a statement blaming “white supremacy” for the police killing of Tyre Nichols, despite everyone involved being black.
    Rep. Bush is also calling for civilians to handle traffic enforcement.

    Nichols, 29, died in the hospital three days after being brutally assaulted by five Memphis police officers during a traffic stop on January 10.

    All five former officers — Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley, Desmond Mills Jr., Emmitt Martin III, and Justin Smith — have already been arrested and charged with second-degree murder, among other charges.

    In her statement, Rep. Bush began by saying that “Tyre Nichols should be alive today. He should be playing with his four-year-old son. He should be skateboarding and photographing sunsets. But instead, Tyre was brutally beaten to death by Memphis Police officers. And now, instead of seeing the photographs he took, the world watches Tyre crying out for his mother in his final moments of consciousness.

    The extremely far-left politician said that charging the police is “not enough” and that the nation needs to dismantle “its racist policing system rooted in enslavement.”

  11. California Would Disbar Ted Cruz And 18 Attorneys General If It Could
    BY: MARGOT CLEVELAND
    JANUARY 27, 2023
    5 MIN READ

    This is what happens when state bars use disciplinary proceedings to conduct lawfare against political opponents.

    Sen. Ted Cruz, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, and the attorneys general from 17 additional states should all be disbarred, according to the reasoning of the disciplinary complaint the State Bar of California filed Thursday against former Trump campaign attorney John Eastman. That detail is one of many buried in the 35-page, 11-count disciplinary complaint made public yesterday in the latest lawfare attack on attorneys who deigned to represent Donald Trump.

    State Bar of California’s Chief Trial Counsel George Cardona announced on Thursday the filing of disciplinary charges against Eastman, allegedly arising from Eastman’s engagement “in a course of conduct to plan, promote, and assist then-President Trump in executing a strategy, unsupported by facts or law, to overturn the legitimate results of the 2020 presidential election by obstructing the count of electoral votes of certain states.” The press release announcing the disciplinary charges further claimed that Eastman “made false and misleading statements regarding purported election fraud,” that provoked a crowd into assaulting and breaching the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2020

    The 11 charges against Eastman prove troubling throughout, with the State Bar of California proposing to discipline Eastman for presenting legal analyses to his client, Trump, and for speaking publicly on his views about the election, with the bar even attempting to hold Eastman responsible any violence that occurred on Jan. 6. The disciplinary complaint also misrepresents numerous arguments Eastman and others made concerning the 2020 election, falsely equating claims of violations of election law with fraud.

    But it is count two of the disciplinary complaint, charging Eastman with “seeking to mislead a court,” that exposes the California State Bar as a kangaroo court.

    On or about December 7, 2020, the State of Texas filed a Motion for Leave to File Bill of Complaint in the United States
    Supreme Court, initiating the lawsuit Texas v. Pennsylvania,” begins count two of the complaint against Eastman. The complaint then explains that in that lawsuit, Texas argued the defendant states of Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin “usurp[ed] their legislatures’ authority and unconstitutionally revised their States’ election statutes.” As a remedy, Texas sought an order from the Supreme Court to “enjoin the use of unlawful election results without review and ratification by the Defendant States’ legislatures and remand to the Defendant States’ respective legislatures to appoint Presidential Electors in a manner consistent with the Electors Clause.”

    Eastman, on behalf of then-President Trump, sought to intervene in the Texas v. Pennsylvania case, and in that motion, Eastman “expressly adopted the allegations contained in the Motion for Leave to File Bill of Complaint filed by Texas.” In adopting the allegations Texas made, Eastman, according to the California State Bar, “misl[ed] the Supreme Court by an artifice or false statement of fact or law,” in violation of California’s “Business and Professions Code” that governs attorneys’ conduct in the Golden State.

    Under the California State Bar’s reasoning, then, Texas’ attorney general who filed the motion likewise “misled” the U.S. Supreme Court, as did the attorneys general of the 17 other states that supported Texas’ motion for leave to file a bill of complaint. So too would have Sen. Ted Cruz, had the Supreme Court agreed to hear the motion, as he had agreed to argue the case on Trump’s behalf in that circumstance.

    While count two represents but one of the 11 distinct charges levied against Eastman, it most clearly exposes the logical conclusion reached when state bars use disciplinary proceedings to conduct lawfare against political opponents.

    To date, the bars have limited themselves to targeting just a few attorneys working for Trump, with the D.C. Bar pursuing Rudy Giuliani and Jeff Clark, in addition to the California State Bar’s attack on Eastman. But there is no limiting principle to prevent the bars in other states from pursuing any politician with a law license who happens to represent the wrong person.

    That is an extremely dangerous precedent, which is why tomorrow at a press conference called by Eastman’s legal team, some big legal names will condemn the move. The hastily called conference is expected to bring together former U.S. Attorney General Edwin Meese III and John Yoo, a current professor of law at the University of California-Berkley, former general counsel to the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee, and former deputy assistant attorney general. Former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman and former California Supreme Court Justice Janice Rogers Brown, among others, are also expected at the conference.

    Whether the legacy media will cover Eastman’s detailed response to the State Bar of California’s disciplinary complaint or bother to report on his press conference remains to be seen. But if Cruz and the attorneys general impugned by the California State Bar speak out, the corrupt press may not have any choice but to report on the ridiculous theories underlying the disciplinary attacks on Eastman.

  12. zero hedge – Watch: Top US Official Hails Nord Stream 2 Sabotage In Senate Testimony

    Does this constitute a fresh official US confession of sorts?

    US Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland during a Thursday Senate hearing positively celebrated the destruction of the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipelines, due to a sabotage attack on September 26 of last year.

    A Clemson college basketball player shared some gruesome details regarding his recent unexpectant injury.

    Clemson basketball player Brevin Galloway took to Instagram and shared that his ‘balls and nut sack exploded.’

    According to Galloway, the injury occurred shortly after he took a nap.

    So this morning, I went to lift. I came back, I took a nap. I woke up from my nap, my balls and my nut sack were exploded,” Galloway said.

    After the injury, Galloway immediately received surgery to reduce the size of his testicles.

    Now I go to the doctor, I have surgery 3 hours later, and my balls are reduced to the normal size,” he continued.

    Galloway would go on to make light of the situation and stated, “I don’t know what happened to my balls… I guess they were trying to be like basketballs, but we made it.”

    Now I’m going to be spoiled for the next 48 hours. And I will be back in a youth form shortly. Go Tigers. I love Clemson,” he concluded.

    Clemson University initially stated Galloway’s injury was just an abdominal issue.

    Per the Post and Courier, Clemson University in 2021 “required proof of vaccination for students and staff who want to be exempt from wearing masks, weekly testing and mandatory quarantine that has been the resting state of campus life for a year now.”

    Previously, rap star Nicki Minaj shared that her cousin in Trinidad won’t get the Covid-19 vaccine because his friend’s testicles became swollen after taking it.

  18. WATCH: NYT Editorial Board Member Mara Gay Appears on MSNBC and Melts Down Over Trump Being Reinstated on Social Media

    New York Times editorial board member Mara Gay appeared on MSNBC and melted down over former President Donald Trump being reinstated on Twitter.
    Gay was on a panel lamenting how Meta was handing Trump the “keys to democracy” on Thursday’s episode of “Morning Joe.”

    Advertisement –

    Other guests on the panel included Lincoln Project co-founder George Conway and historian Jon Meacham.

    Conway claimed that he was “very worried” about the impact that Trump being allowed to speak will have on democracy.

    They think, ‘Well oh, the fire’s out, so even though this guy has a cache of matches and gasoline that he carries around with him, let’s let him just play with matches again,” Conway said.

    Meacham claimed that Meta had made the “devils bargain” with Trump.

    If you are one of these companies, do you want to be the means by which an autocrat mounts an assault on the Constitution itself?” Meacham asked.

    Gay compared Trump being reinstated on social media to companies that help make weapons of war.

    “As a country or as a company, you don’t want to hand over the keys to democracy to have someone destroy that democracy. Do you want to be that institution that really helps take down the country?” Gay asked.

    Gay also whined that “the threat hasn’t gone away. The threats to democracy are real. Donald Trump has not been held accountable.”

    Nick Clegg, president of global affairs at Meta, announced that Trump would be reinstated on Facebook and Instagram on Wednesday.

    “To assess whether the serious risk to public safety that existed in January 2021 has sufficiently receded, we have evaluated the current environment according to our Crisis Policy Protocol, which included looking at the conduct of the U.S. 2022 midterm elections, and expert assessments on the current security environment,” Clegg wrote.

    “Our determination is that the risk has sufficiently receded, and that we should therefore adhere to the two-year timeline we set out. As such, we will be reinstating Mr. Trump’s Facebook and Instagram accounts in the coming weeks. However, we are doing so with new guardrails in place to deter repeat offenses.”

    Trump was banned from both platforms after the Capitol protest on January 6, 2021.

  19. “This is Bad for America. This is Bad for the World. We are about to Enter Potentially World War III” – General Flynn on Biden’s Disaster in Ukraine
    By Joe Hoft
    Published January 28, 2023 at 4:40pm
    Comment

    General Mike Flynn discussed the end of the Vietnam War 50 years ago and the current situation in Ukraine on the War Room on Friday.

    Steve Bannon was joined by General Michael Flynn on Friday and they discussed the end of the Vietnam War 50 years ago and the current situation in Ukraine.

    General Flynn started by honoring American veterans for their service in all wars and especially all these heroes from the Vietnam War. He shared:

    We just got out of Afghanistan and there are killing fields going on in Afghanistan today. And we, most Americans don’t know, that we’re still sending tax payer dollars now to the Taliban to help them. So it’s just insane.

    He then discussed the current situation in Ukraine.

    We are about to enter a war and I still haven’t heard this administration talk about any vital national security objectives. I don’t know what our objectives are…

    We are going to creep into this war like we crept into other wars like Vietnam, like Afghanistan, like Iraq and this going to be turned into an absolute disaster.

    General Flynn said that we can’t put the arms in Ukraine that we are putting there, without boots on the ground. The administration spent $110 billion on Ukraine which is about $200 million per Congressional District.

    That kind of money could be flowing into this country instead of Ukraine into somebody’s pocket. This is bad for America. This is bad for the world. We are about to enter potentially World War III and the talk of nuclear weapons is absolutely outrageous.

    It is definitely on the table because we’re hearing it from both sides.

    Bannon then asked General Flynn if we were sleepwalking into WWIII.

    Tom Cotton, like many of the Senators who are pushing for this thing, and on the Republican side. They have forgotten what we just did in Afghanistan which was a complete and utter disaster. The surrendered to the Taliban and left our own behind enemy lines to fend for themselves…We are being led into WWIII.

    Germany may have resigned itself to war with Russia. After dragging their feet on sending weapons, they have decided to just bite the bullet, so to speak. This could cost lives and it will absolutely cost them money. The Institute of German Economics calculated that the conflict in Ukraine will cost €175 billion, which equates to €2,000 per person and 4.5% of the country’s GDP.
