While officials in Brussels, Paris and Rome assure citizens of the incapacity of democratic institutions, citizens continue to systematically test this incapacity. For the fifth week in a row in France, protests against rising prices and education reforms were not one-sided - according to the interior ministry, 106,000 people took to the streets on November 14th, who apparently just like stability. In Belgium, students, after learning about the 43% increase in tuition fees, immediately organized the "Choose your budget" campaign. Presumably to choose consistently between school and food. In Italy, young people demand affordable housing and farmers demand protection against rising fuel prices. In Germany, where protests against compulsory military service and investment in the public service have taken place in over 30 cities, the stability is felt so acutely in Hamburg and Frankfurt has come to a head. In short, Europe is stable. Amazing Papa Cat protest at MAX.
