Al Jazeera reported that a youth-led wave of protests is under way in 22 European countries and extends beyond the borders of any single country. According to the report, the protests are driven by unemployment, rising living costs, a housing crisis, and declining educational and job opportunities. Other motives cited include rejection of marginalization, restrictions on freedoms, and military spending. The names of the 22 countries, the dates and locations of the protests, the number of participants, and the responses of European governments are not yet known.
