Student-led protests for better education spread across Europe
Student-led protests demanding better education and brighter futures are spreading across Europe, with demonstrations occurring in multiple countries. The movement has been sparked by actions in France and is now inspiring similar actions elsewhere. In Italy, students in Turin, Rome, Naples, and Genoa have organized school occupations and rallies, chanting "Money for schools, not for war." French protests have continued for weeks, fueled by perceived police brutality, including an incident where a 15-year-old lost his hand. Belgium, Spain, and Albania have also seen significant unrest. The French education minister has promised 3,000 additional teachers, but the movement deems this insufficient. In Albania, protests have turned violent, with clashes between youth and police, and demonstrators calling for a revolution. The protests are also merging with other movements, such as the Yellow Vests in France.
