MCC Feszt Gen Z is in open revolt against their respective establishment’s disasterous policies, which have saddled them with a skyrocketing housing crisis, lingering scars of lockdowns, disorienting technological shifts, and the social tensions of mass migration. From France to Poland to Germany, young people are flocking to populist parties, channeling their frustration into a fierce rejection of a system that’s priced them out of homes and eroded their futures. This panel will explore how these seismic changes are fuelling civic defiance and igniting new political allegiances. Join us for a charged, thought-provoking debate on the struggles and bold ambitions of a generation embracing populism to tear down a failing status quo! The panel is powered by MCC Brussels.
