The Age of Anger: A Wave of Unprecedented Discontent Threatens the Centrist Parties in Europe

A wave of protests across Europe, particularly in France and Albania, reflects deep dissatisfaction with political leadership and rising living costs. Demonstrations, initially peaceful, have escalated into violence, prompting government crackdowns. In France, protests began over educational issues and have led to significant unrest, while in Albania, a movement against political corruption has gained momentum, fueled by student involvement. Both situations highlight a growing trend of discontent that threatens centrist parties ahead of key elections.
