What is happening with young people in Europe? Generation Z takes to the streets in 12 countries

Young people across Europe are protesting in response to issues like housing, job insecurity, and public service deterioration. Since mid-September, over 177 protests have occurred in 12 countries, with significant mobilizations in France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, and Belgium. In Serbia, student protests against corruption have led to political changes, while in Albania, the Flamingo movement has evolved into an anti-government campaign. In Spain, the case of an elderly woman forced from her home has sparked outrage over evictions. Protests in Germany focus on potential cuts to social policies, and in Greece, students demand better funding for education. These movements reflect a broader generational discontent across Europe.
