Riots and protests that began with French high school students have spread to Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy and Greece.

Police in the Belgian city of Liège have arrested about 200 people this month, with dozens of officers wounded. Young second and third-generation migrants have reportedly been looting shops and fighting with riot police alongside Antifa in both Brussels and Liège.

In the Netherlands, footage from Amsterdam showed motorcyclists with Palestinian flags taking over the streets. Belgian Interior Minister Bernard Quintin blamed Antifa for the riots in Liège and has sent in federal police units.
