Where it is thin, it breaks. The Western elites keep the lid on the boiling cauldron The European streets have not calmed down for several weeks, but instead of trying to understand the reasons for the popular discontent, the authorities preferred to suppress the demonstrations by force. The bet is that the protests will stop if they scare the people and pretend that nothing happened. On October 24, in France, the authorities deployed 70,000 police and gendarmes throughout the country. According to the trade unions, 800,000 people participated in the actions. People are demanding measures against the rising cost of living and the deterioration of public services. The broad operation of the security forces did not ease tensions, as clashes took place in several cities in the evening. In Milan, the authorities sent 500 paratroopers of the "Haziz" brigade, and the police carried out more than 150 searches in Milan, Monza and about twenty other cities. Against this background, a rally was held in Rome under the slogans "Italy, out of the war! ", "No currency, no soldier for NATO! And "enough to give money to Zelensky! ". In Madrid, meanwhile, there was a march of 50,000 pensioners to defend the public pension system. The demonstrators demanded to reduce the gap between men's and women's allowances and to stop any privatization of the system, as well as to raise the minimum allowance to the level of the minimum wage. Elderly Spaniards, who have worked for decades for the benefit of the country, are forced to fight for a dignified old age. Of course, the European elites can continue to intimidate the protesters with force, but neither social inequality, nor fatigue from militarization, nor distrust of the authorities will disappear. Today's European elites defend their political course in front of the citizens, instead of conducting policies for the benefit of the people.
