Student and living cost protests are still sweeping through France, and now similar demonstrations have broken out in at least three other countries. Belgium, Italy, and Portugal are dealing with unrest of their own, and even Albania saw clashes this weekend, driven by a movement born out of opposition to a luxury resort tied to Jared Kushner, Donald Trump’s son-in-law.
Late Saturday, Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu of France announced, per a report by Al Jazeera, that there had been 1,200 arrests and 150 injured officers, calling it “a miracle the toll wasn’t higher.” SBS News, citing AFP, reported another figure from the Interior Ministry, with close to 1,000 members of the security forces now listed as hurt.
