protests
In a field outside of the Belgian capital, Brussels, farmers gathered to protest against European environmental regulations, with demonstrators coming from Poland, the Netherlands and France. Organisers had expected a significant turnout for this final protest before the EU elections, despite the fact that Brussels recently eased environmental demands in its common agricultural policy (CAP).

Later, they erected a scale model of a Mark 84 bomb, an American-made 2,000-pound weapon used by the Israeli military, next to a map of upper Manhattan show...

In April, Texas state police tangled with University of Texas at Austin student protesters, pushing them off the campus and sending some into the streets. The protest began when students walked out of class with demands that the university divest from manufacturers supplying weapons to Israel in the ongoing war in Gaza. Gov. Greg Abbott posted on X, "Arrests being made right now & will continue until the crowd disperses. These protesters belong in jail. Antisemitism will not be tolerated in Texas. Period," teeing up challenges about whether the move complied with the First Amendment. The post ...

Christian Tein, who heads the pro-independence party The Field Action Coordination Unit, called for "resistance" to Paris-imposed electoral reforms, which the indigenous Kanak people fear will further marginalise them.

Tourism is pricing locals out of being able to live on Ibiza, campaigners say. Activists are taking to the streets this weekend to protest what they say are the downsides of tourism. According to Prou Ibiza (‘Enough Ibiza’ in Catalan), nurses and police officers are having to live in cars and caravans because housing is unaffordable, and operations and cancer treatment have been delayed because doctors can't afford to live on the white isle.
