2022 Europe inflation protests
Europe inflation protests are ongoing protests across Europe against the growing cost of living and inflation. The rise of prices has been attributed to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. The protests have been reported in France, Germany, Romania, and Czech Republic.
