Germany/Belgium: Occupy Europe - European Journal

Protest movements are forming across Europe, mostly among young people. They have demonstrated in front of the European Central Bank in Frankfurt and at a European Union summit in Brussels.Some commenters are calling this a new"protest culture"of a kind Europe hasn't seen in decades. The young protesters are demanding a more just distribution of wealth and want the power of the banks to be broken. They have little interest in traditional political parties or labor unions, which they say haven't learned any lessons from the financial crises of the past few years.
