Global Protests Surge as France and Albania Face Biggest Unrest

Global protests have erupted across numerous nations in recent days, with France and Albania facing the most serious challenges from sustained demonstrations over economic strain and government policies. In France, over 550,000 people protested against rising fuel prices and living costs, while a separate student-teacher movement over education funding has caused violent clashes and class disruptions. Albania has seen protests turn violent outside the Education Ministry over university conditions and costs. Other nations face similar unrest: Belgium and Portugal saw clashes over living costs and housing affordability, Italy protested stagnant wages, and Argentina demonstrated over education budget cuts. India's opposition protested voter roll revisions, while US rallies opposed President Trump ahead of midterm elections.
