The number of mass demonstrations is increasing across Europe as winter approaches. Germany is the focus of most of the protests this week as rising energy costs continue destroying the leading European economy.
On October 11 and 12, German farmers joined civilians in mass demonstrations in Frankfurt against Olaf Scholz, Ursula von der Leyen, EU, NATO, sanctions against Russia, and increases in gas and energy prices.
The people demand peace, freedom and sovereignty.
Similar protests were held in Paris, Vienna, Athens and Chișinău, Moldova recently.
