One million people marched across France on 18 September 2025 in response to a joint call from unions and the Bloquons Tout (Block Everything) movement. From the early morning, hundreds of grassroots initiatives joined picket lines following weeks of self-organized general assemblies. This second day of mobilization — coming after the protests on 10 September that drew 500,000 participants — confirmed both the scale and the radical nature of the emerging movement.

It had been in the air for some time. The massive rally in Berlin over the weekend was only the latest sign of a growing continental momentum. The mobilisation in Italy has taken this dynamic to a new level. No one expected a wave of such magnitude: On Monday 22 September, tens of thousands marched across Italy to condemn the genocide in Gaza, taking part in strikes and blockades in a demonstration under the Slogan “Blocchiamo Tutto” ("Let’s Block Everything").
The general strike called by grassroots trade unions, primarily the Unione Sindacale di Base (USB), and ...

Norway’s parliamentary election on Monday, September 8, 2025, was an incredibly close-run race. The left bloc, led by the Labour Party, secured a narrow victory. Labour will likely continue as a single-party minority government, seeking compromises and budget agreements with other left-wing parties as well as across the political spectrum. Much remains uncertain, however, as negotiations with as many as four smaller left-wing parties are still ongoing before a new government can be formally established.
The Race for the ...
