European Protests Intensify: Will Public Outcry Force Government Action?

Another weekend has seen a fresh wave of protests sweep across numerous European countries, with France witnessing some of the most significant demonstrations. Protesters in France are demanding increased government investment in public services, a sentiment echoed in other parts of the continent. The central question remains: what will it take for European governments to implement the changes that demonstrators are calling for? And will these protesters remain mobilized until their demands are met?

The discussion features insights from Jack Eisner, a public law student at Sciences Po Paris and a protest participant; Rainbow Murray, a specialist in French politics and Professor of Politics at Queen Mary University of London; and Petros Fassoulas, Secretary General of European Movement International and a European policy analyst.
