“Governments should neither romanticise protest nor use violence as a pretext to dismiss legitimate grievances.”

Excellent piece by @alemanno.wsocial.eu on the French/European protests.

A violent and coordinated youth uprising? That’s exactly the picture Europe’s enemies want to paint | Alberto Alemanno

Each country’s protesters have distinct grievances. Listen to them, not the voices telling us Europe is ungovernable, says law professor Alberto Alemanno

#WolffBites: Macron, "boss" of France's political "center," (1) tries police/army repression of protests, (2) panders to the right by blaming immigrants, and (3) keeps neglecting schools (the protests' cause). Trump urges/applauds repression in France, of course.

Protests over wages, rents and education spread across France, Italy, Belgium, Portugal, Spain and Albania this month. Lauren Mushro writes that the surveillance tools governments are using in response deserve as much scrutiny as the unrest itself.
