In Madrid, thousands of people took to the streets for housing rights, and after the rejection of decrees on the issue, Pedro Sánchez dissolved Parliament and called early elections for November 29th. In France, students are protesting from north to south, igniting the political debate ahead of the 2027 presidential elections. The contexts are different, but a common thread ties them together: essential services perceived as increasingly less accessible, a generation that feels unheard, and right-wing groups ready to exploit the discontent. What could be the social and political consequences of these protests? And what challenges do they pose to the European Union, which is heading into a year of elections in several countries?
Paolo Magri, President of the ISPI Scientific Committee, discusses this with Antonio Villafranca, Vice President for Research at ISPI.
