Why the ‘European dream’ was lost on university students in Maastricht | DW News

In Europe, there's a growing sense of neglect towards the younger generation. They face lower salaries, longer work hours, and increased responsibilities while witnessing a surge in billionaires, particularly in countries like Germany. The housing market adds to their woes, as property prices soar, making it difficult to afford homes, let alone start families. To compensate, cheap labor from abroad is often favored, leading to frustration among the youth, who feel betrayed. People aren't inherently racist, but this frustration arises when governments prioritize external labor over addressing domestic issues. It's high time politicians acknowledge and tackle these pressing concerns rather than resorting to distractions. The younger generation deserves meaningful change. STOP playing with house inflation and reduce the prices. Its ridiculous the explotation of our generation.

I think first Ursula and co need to retire so the young people can come in and build future for them

Amazing how strong the police shut down any debate on topics that could be uncomfortable

Sorry to share this, but it seems that you think young people care or value more what happened to the party, rather than the outcomes of the debate. It would be rather encouraging, seeing rather the post-debate situation as an opportunity to reflect on the young people's criticisms, political engagement and diversity of expressing it, by a) being present at such an event, advocating for the policies they value, b) remaining hopeful and able to reflect on their concerns - especially when throughout the debate, those concerns were either not addressed adequately or seen to be issues that matter and b) some of them seeing this event as a channel to call for action, risking of being mistreated by authorities or peers, while using their right to protest. To pass their message concerning the need for immediate action on a matter they can't no more be witnesses in silence.... It would be rather encouraging, yet we have a lot to learn.

Isnt it weird that we’re seeing no footage about the police rage?

Complicity

The future is green. The future is young. The future is bright.

How would EU officials claim themselves as partegon of democrats? Even you can't bear young people to highlight what happens in Gaza! Please be consistent on democracy!

…it’s about Authentic Leadership!

The young is waiting you GO to dismantle the POLITICS SYSTEM.

Everything now is far right if u don't want to follow EU orders

"i am lucky not to have been kicked out" never say there aren't any perks to being pro establishment ^^

Best of luck EU

what is that poster @1:50 lol!!!!

The People have started to clean the Eu from Dr.Jekylls and Mr/Mrs. Hydes.

Bro got nervous at the end when she started highlighting the aggressive behaviour of the police. Kudos to her though. I hope she keeps her job.

I like pen of anchor...and sometimes I think EU as empire as roman empire with democracy and all parliament members as senators..and they pass laws

If you want to block the roads or do a protest for some crazy couse just organise your party in the west of the Netherlands, like Amsterdam, Rotterdam, the Hague or Utrecht, the rest of the country doesn´t like that. Local groups obay by that unwritten rule.

Neither Israel nor Palestine is part of the EU or at least Europe, so what is the reason of waiting this topic to be a central part of the debates... Apparently students have learnt not enough during their studies to raise issues about Europe and the EU, it's future, it's internal development... Sad, lack of conscious.. They had a chance to talk about Europe, but destiny of their home doesn't inspire their minds..

Shame on Germany for not sending Taurus and for not supporting frozen assets bill
