Alternative media reports say social unrest in France has spread to Belgium.
Those X accounts say that far-left groups are mobilizing young people and migrants, while corporate media coverage emphasizes the narrative that overcrowded classrooms, teacher shortages, long school days and deteriorating facilities are to blame for the chaos.
Whether the unrest reflects the coordinated weaponization of young people or simply parallel local grievances remains unclear at this moment.
European political news website Remix News published footage earlier on Monday, stating, “Student protests have now spread to Liège in Belgium.”

FIRST FRANCE NOW BELGIUM: RIOTS SPREADING IN EUROPE? 1/ Liège burned a bus shelter on Monday. The timeline people are selling is “France, then Belgium, then the continent.” The timeline that actually happened is duller and more dangerous: French teenagers have been blockading lycées since late September. Walloon pupils walked out over their own decree. On October 5 the Liège march broke. Sixteen administrative arrests by early afternoon. A bus shelter on fire at Place de la République française. Water cannon. Tear gas. A hard core of about thirty throwing paving stones while 300 to 400 watched. That is a riot edge. It is not a regime falling.

Liège is located in eastern Belgium, about 56 miles east of Brussels, near the borders with the Netherlands and Germany.
French intelligence agencies told a government crisis meeting at the end of last week that radical politicians from the far-left France Unbowed party, known as LFI, had sparked the riots that left hundreds injured and more than 100 high schools severely damaged.
The collision of far-left riots and the European election cycle has bolstered right-wing presidential contender Marine Le Pen, whose Polymarket odds of winning next year’s election have surged over the last week.
The right-wing AfD in Germany is gaining political ground as the globalists and their socialist dream of Europe crumbles, and Nomura analysts see the continent “lurching right” over the next 18 months or so of elections. Folks are furious with deindustrialization and unfettered mass migration, which have transformed parts of Europe into third-worldism.
Europe’s shift to the right could follow a very similar path to what’s happening in South America, with Brazil’s latest first-round election giving right-wing Senator Flávio Bolsonaro a clear win against socialist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The two are now headed to a runoff election later this month.
Europe’s major problem is the far-left radicalization of young people. Europeans finally acknowledged this in behind-the-scenes discussions with high-level Trump administration officials this summer. Brussels now faces the question of how to tackle this crisis as far-left radicalization targets younger and younger people.
