Hope it spreads in Flanders as well

Hope there are comrades agitating and radicalizing the young too. Good opportunities to gain more comrades can never be wasted.

Do y'all think the Worker's Party can help steer these protests?

That is a good question for a Belgian comrade. Hopefully, someone from there can help us answer that question.

The workers party has been crucial in coordinating the anti government movement since early 2025. The protests this weekend are not spontaneous, they are part of a longer struggle that unites all oppressed classes.

Germany needs to take inspiration from this wave of student revolts too. If you are with the SDAJ you should propose organizing protests and school strikes in solidarity with France and Belgium, and of course against the military draft the German government wants to pass.

The problem of these massive protests and mobilitisations in europe is that they never get turned into an actual movement to accumulate forces they either die or get mitigated by establishment forces It Is not the first time It happens, but keep It up! hope this time Is different
