Anger is spreading across Europe, with protests extending from France to several other countries over issues ranging from housing and wages to fuel prices. Governments face mounting pressure for relief while contending with high debt, rising borrowing costs and approaching elections.

Across Europe, an autumn of anger is taking hold.

In France, student protests over overcrowded classrooms and teacher shortages have grown into a broader public outcry.

In recent weeks, separate protests have also erupted in Belgium, Italy, Portugal, Spain and Albania.

The grievances differ, from unaffordable housing and low wages to rising fuel costs, education and political accountability.

Governments face demands for relief while wrestling with high debt, rising borrowing costs and, in several countries, looming elections.
