A wave of protests swept across Europe again over rising prices, the housing crisis, and dissatisfaction with government policy.
In France, about ~400 thousand people took to the streets — nearly 1000 were detained. In Italy, in Rome, Turin, and Bologna 371 protesters were detained, including more than 100 minors.
In Barcelona, shops were looted and there were over 30 arsons; about 100 people were detained. In Albania’s capital, after an attempt to storm a government building, police used rubber bullets, tear gas, and water cannons. Rallies also took place in Brussels, Lisbon, Dublin, and Vienna.
Europe is experiencing one of the most serious surges in social protests in recent times. One of the main factors intensifying the crisis is the consequences of the war in Iran, which was unleashed by Trump.
