Protests and strikes erupt across Europe as soaring inflation, cost of living drives 'winter of discontent'
Fox News
Workers all across Europe are taking to the streets in demonstrations and strikes that at times have become violent as citizens protest soaring inflation and cost of living hikes.
The strike disrupted services around the country, with ferries tied up in port, severing connections to Greece’s islands, state-run schools shutting, public hospitals running with reduced staff and most public transport grinding to a standstill.

A similar scene unfolded in Belgium, as traffic backups were reported across the country after workers set up picket lines at supermarkets and shopping centers to protest runaway inflation and energy bill spikes due in part to Russia’s war in Ukraine.
