A Europe long at peace is once again a seething continent. In France, Greece and Spain crowds of youths are out demonstrating against their situation, and in London they have reduced neighbourhoods to rubble and ashes. What is going wrong here? wonders a German columnist. 
Europe is bailing out its financial centres, but not its youth. Three basic conditions – education, employment and housing – are denied them. So when they fight back, says Der Standard's writer, they're just following the message from the top: take what you can and get out.
