European protests over living costs and public services spread from Spain to Albania

Widespread protests across Europe are driven by economic pressures and frustration over public services, with unrest ranging from violent riots in France to tent camps in Spain. The demonstrations reflect a continent-wide backlash against rising living costs and deteriorating conditions. In France, weekend riots led to 2,400 arrests and significant property damage, including the burning of Limoges' town hall, prompting curfews. Spain faces teacher strikes and housing protests, while Italy saw violence amid inflation at 4.2 percent, and Albania demands its prime minister's resignation. The unrest spans multiple nations, with Serbia also experiencing anti-corruption protests. These events highlight a broader pattern of public anger over economic hardship and governance failures across the continent.
