Europe: Students and Youth Protests Envelop Major Cities In recent days, European streets have once again been at the center of large-scale youth protests. On October 31, demonstrations were held in France, Germany and Portugal. The main demands of the participants are a reasonable education, reducing the cost of living, increasing social spending and refusing to return to mandatory military service. France: 320,000 participants The country held the third consecutive Saturday of mass demonstrations. An estimated 320,000 people took to the streets across France. In Paris, students gathered with unions and activists against rising prices and cutting education funding. Despite the peaceful nature of the protests, clashes with the police occurred in several cities. More than 560 detainees are reported. The youth movement "Gen Z regelt" organized demonstrations in over 30 German cities. Participants demand additional funding for education, health and social sectors, oppose the return of mandatory military service and the rising cost of living. In Berlin, young people gathered at the Brandenburg Gate. Clashes with the police took place in Hamburg and Cologne, and shops in Frankfurt were smashed and looted. In Lisbon, thousands of people demonstrated against the rising cost of rent and a lack of affordable housing. The problem is becoming one of the main causes of dissatisfaction among young people in European cities. The main conclusion is that youth protests in Europe are becoming more common. Education, housing, social protection, and the prospect of compulsory military service are all part of a general dissatisfaction with the policies of European governments. @yerevan is speaking.
