Despite what the headline sounds like, this is not a new problem and it’s happening across Europe, not just these three countries.

I blame neoliberalism, lobbyism aka legal corruption, and the Austerity narrative.

I would say it mainly boils down that basic needs aren’t fulfilled anymore. Increasing costs of groceries, rent, public transport, healthcare and taxes to name a few meet decreasing investments (monetary and political will in general) in infrastructure, social housing, healthcare, pensions etc. @
