Alerts Roundup #7 – Europe’s protest wave
October has seen a wave of protests across Europe, focusing on issues such as the quality of education, access to housing, corruption, and the cost of living. In this edition, we’re putting these mobilisations — and the (often violent) response to them — in focus.
Also in this roundup: the latest from Slovenia, where the new government is continuing to take restrictive measures against civil society; funding for civil society comes under scrutiny in Denmark, Belgium, and Latvia; and Greenpeace activists have been acquitted after facing potential record-breaking sentences!
