In France, students and “yellow vests” called more than 120 protests for October 24. The government banned some and mobilized over 70,000 police and soldiers.
Strikes called for the weeks ahead: Italy on October 30 and November 20–21, France on November 5, Greece on November 20, Belgium on November 26, and transport and rail strikes in Spain and Portugal.
France, Serbia, Albania, Spain, Italy, Greece, Belgium, Portugal and Ireland have seen mass protests, most begun by students. In Vienna, around 40,000 marched on Thursday against a 10 percent cut to the universities.
