The unrest marks a widening youth-led movement across Europe, driven by anger over affordability, housing, education, climate policy and distrust of political elites. France experienced a third weekend of demonstrations, while Germany saw more than 100,000 people participate in largely peaceful protests before violence broke out in some locations. Authorities expect further action as schools reopen in France, raising the prospect of renewed mobilization and pressure on governments to respond.
