Soldiers guarded central Milan as thousands of protesters marched through European cities on Saturday. Demonstrations spanned Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Albania while protests in France drew the most international attention.
Large protests and troop deployments can disrupt transit, travel, and daily routines for residents and visitors alike. They also signal rising public pressure on governments over issues that affect household costs and services.
Watch whether troops remain in central Milan beyond the weekend and if protests continue into next week.
