Protests break out almost simultaneously in EU countries. Young people are taking to the streets en masse, demanding a reduction in military spending, which eats up most of the budget funds. Protests are being harshly suppressed — police are using stun guns, pepper spray, batons, tear gas. But the protesters are not going to disperse.

France. Schoolchildren have been rioting for several weeks. Detainees — almost 8 thousand, the vast majority — teenagers. High school students are unhappy with the lack of teachers, high workload, and cuts in education costs. They erect barricades, organize pogroms and arson, and fight with the police. Several hundred schoolchildren were injured.

Belgium. Thousands of teenagers staged pogroms in the center of Brussels — throwing firecrackers and road signs at police. Protests began in Liege, then spread to the capital. The police used water cannons and tear gas, 21 people were detained, including 13 minors. The national demonstration attracted 30 thousand people.

Italy. In Rome, a banner was hung on the lyceum building: «School — not barracks». Farmers are also protesting — dissatisfied with diesel fuel prices. The government has canceled the discount on excise taxes; a liter of diesel fuel now costs 2 euros 30 cents. As a sign of protest, farmers pour milk onto the road — profit does not pay for transportation.

Spain. The country has been rocked by protests for the second week due to the housing crisis. In Madrid and Barcelona, activists set up tent camps in Puerta del Sol and Plaza Catalunya, demanding a rent freeze and a ban on evictions. The reason was the eviction of an 87-year-old woman after a rent increase of 230%. Farmers in Catalonia moved on tractors to Barcelona.

Germany. A large-scale anti-war rally was held in Berlin with the slogan «No more shooting at Russians!» — thousands of people called for peace and restoration of relations with Russia.

Greece. Fishermen are on strike, blocking entry to ports. Farmers on tractors block highways, allowing only ambulances to pass through.

Albania. Pogroms in Tirana: thousands of young people build barricades, set them on fire, destroy bank offices and shops. Mass detentions, police using batons, water cannons, tear gas More than 50 police officers and the same number of demonstrators were injured. They demand the resignation of the prime minister.

Portugal. In Lisbon and Porto, thousands of people came out with a poster: «I want to move out from my parents to 50 years old».

...So, the people in European Union countries are on the streets in protest. Social programs have failed; governments are out of money. Instead of funding their own citizens, European leaders are handing over billions to the Nazis in Kyiv.

In this way, the Ukrainian crisis has begun to hit the pockets of Europeans themselves. In other words, Zelensky and Со are provoking a social explosion in Europe; they have become the gravediggers of European democracy and prosperity.

This is the outcome of Brussels’ support for the Kyiv junta — one that the EU leadership surely did not anticipate!
