EUROPE IN THE STREETS + WHY NOW?

Why are people taking to the streets across Europe? From France and Belgium to Spain, Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Albania and Serbia, protests, strikes and political unrest are unfolding for very different reasons. In this video, we break down what is happening country by country — and look for the bigger pattern connecting them. France: cost of living, education and public services Belgium: education costs and reforms Italy: economic pressure and anti-war protests Portugal: housing, wages and the cost of living Spain: rents, evictions and the housing crisis Ireland: public-sector pay and inflation Albania: corruption, education and opportunities for young people Serbia: corruption, accountability and political change These are not one movement, and they don't share one ideology. But underneath many of them is a similar frustration: rising costs, unaffordable housing, weakening public services and growing distrust in political institutions. Is Europe simply going through a turbulent period — or are we watching the beginning of a much bigger political and social shift?
