These last few couples of weeks and days have been very intense: not only have protests broken out in France due to widespread economic discontent, crisis in public services and unrest linked to education reforms, but they widespread in all Europe.

In Italy agricoltures, fishermen and haulers have been protesting since the 28th of September because of the expensive fluel, the rising of the living costs and commercial speculation, but the news only came out a few days ago. Due to them, supermarkets are empty and many petrol stations have run out of fuel. Now these protets are spreading towards the North and now bakers and students are joining in too.

Nevertheless they were ignored by a government that proclamated the state of emergency only after the violent protests that ran in Milan between the 17th and the 18th of October.

In these days many teenagers broke away from peaceful marches and started vandalizing and destroying shops and supermarkets and, consequently, created an atmosphere of bad humor among the citizens - and all Italians too. The same happened in Turin and Bologna.

In all Italy marches protest for the living costs, low salaries and better structures and education. Therefore for widespread social and economic hardship and the feeling of having an uncertain future.

I feel particularly involved to the cause, even though I didn't participate to those protests: they are fighting for our future, for our welfare, and see that our government doesn't listen to us young people and doesn't try to resolve properly these problems, but on the contrary spend time, energy and money in something less important, cutting founds from education and sanity, all this makes me feel really mad. So I understand their anger, I'm mad too.

Nevertheless, I think that many are going too far and they're hardly damaging our country.

The same applies for the situation in France. Since the manifestations started I've always been on their side and I supported them. But, as in Italy, many of them are exaggerating and they're devastating not only public spaces, but also historical monuments, and that is unacceptable. I saw the state of the Place de la République after the clashes, of the fountains, the streets, the Limoge's city hall burned - I was speechless.

As a consequence, one of the many in reality, the government uses the violence and the devastation for creating an bad imagine of what the marches are like, ending up not listening and not understanding the true causes of the protests.

In conclusion, the situation in Europe is more complex than it is represented, but it is true that they're a reality that governments must face. We are not talking about only of some destroyed shops, but of the anger and voice of millions of people who are asking for better conditions for our lives.
