Weeks of student protests in France, have grown into some of the worst unrest in recent years.
They started as a call for reforms to the education system.
But they’ve since expanded into demonstrations against the high cost of living and planned cuts to social services.
And France isn’t alone.
Demonstrators have taken to the streets in other parts of Europe.
They’re venting their frustrations against leaders they say have failed to address their needs.
It’s putting pressure on their governments.
And right-wing parties are looking to seize the moment to make political gains.
Guests:
Diane De Vignemont, independent journalist and historian.
Julius Fintelmann, Co-founder and Editor-in-chief at The European Correspondent.
Jaime Velazquez, independent journalist who specialises in the political landscape in Spain
Host:
James Bays
