Violent demonstrations and riots are shaking France, with protests also occurring in Albania, Italy, and Belgium, driven by widespread discontent among young people, according to SVT's Europe correspondent Tomas Thorén. At least half a million people demonstrated in France on Saturday, with protesters throwing firecrackers, smoke bombs, and stones, and setting fire to kiosks, cars, and a historic town hall from 1883. In Albania, parts of the Supreme Court were set ablaze as protesters threw Molotov cocktails at police. In Italy, students are demanding more resources for education, while in Belgium, young students have protested against government decisions to raise tuition fees. The situation has been chaotic at times, with significant anger fueling the protests across multiple European countries.
