“Siamo tutti antifascisti!” – “We are all anti-fascists!”, chant secondary school and university students demonstrating en masse in several European countries in recent weeks. In Serbia, where the Student List brought down Aleksandar Vučić’s regime in the 25 October elections, the movement has been building over the last two years; in Belgium, the protests began in June; and then in France, Spain, Portugal, Greece and Germany, Generation Z – soon joined by teachers, parents and trade unions – took to the streets in October to demand better conditions for their education and immediate measures to tackle the high cost of living. What they want, in short, is a future.
Do these protest movements draw inspiration from one another? Do their demands converge? Are there significant differences? Is brutal police repression a specifically French phenomenon? Can a parallel be drawn with the May ’68 movements?
We’ll discuss these questions and more with journalist Danileja Nenadić and sociologist and political scientist Donatella della Porta on Wednesday 18 November 2026 at 1.00 pm CET. The conversation will be in English, moderated by Catherine André and Gian-Paolo Accardo.
