Unions and associations from seven European countries call for a demonstration against the high cost of living at the end of November

On November 3, housing rights groups from seven European countries announced coordinated protests against high living costs on November 20-22. They aim to gather millions to demand housing rights, price controls on housing, food, and energy, as well as increased wages and pensions. The movement, sparked by recent housing crises, includes calls for public services and taxation of the wealthy. In Spain, the eviction of an elderly woman led to widespread protests, prompting early elections. Youth strikes are planned across 20 countries, reflecting a broader European discontent with rising living costs and inadequate government responses.
