Can protests in Europe bring about change?

Another weekend and another wave of protests has hit many European countries.

Some of the largest demonstrations have been seen in France.

Protesters there are calling for more government investment in public services.

It’s a similar story in other parts of the continent.

So, what would it take for governments to enact the changes protesters are demanding? Will demonstrators stay on the streets until that happens?
