Germany, Italy and France are expected to suffer a wave of more protests against high living costs.
Thousands of people took to streets on Friday and expected to continue on Saturday to protest high living costs, as frustration with governments expands across Europe.
Police are also on alert in Spain for possible protests.
Genesis
On September 17, teachers at the Antoine de Saint-Exupéry High School in Créteil, a southeastern suburb of Paris, went on strike to draw attention to staff shortages.
The teachers, joined by students and parents, blocked the school entrance.
Videos of the blockade spread on social media, and soon protests expanded to high schools across the nation.
The protests have continued throughout October, affecting more than one thousand of France’s approximately 3,700 high schools and drawing hundreds of thousands of protesters.
As the movement grew, the list of grievances expanded beyond the failings of the public school system to encompass broader economic, political, and social dissatisfaction.
Teachers, parents, university students, and left-wing politicians also joined.
