France, Italy, Belgium Facing Crisis: Why the Three-Country Protest Wave Gripping Europe Is Far From Over

A protester wearing a mask holds a sign referring to Precariousness, Authority, and Security as the Republic s motto, featuring a drawing of a CRS officer beating a person on the ground with a baton, during a demonstration by union members, Yellow Vests, young people, and citizens dissatisfied with the high cost of living and gasoline, the rise of the far right, and police repression of the high school students' movement in Toulouse, in southwestern France, on October 24, 2026. The previous week, a similar demonstration had led to a sharp surge in violence by rioters (fires, assaults, looting, etc.) across the country.
