Online Predator's Deception Leads to Tragic Murder of 14-Year-Old Gamer New

Online Predator's Deception Leads to Tragic Murder of 14-Year-Old Gamer

When Breck first switched schools and began reconnecting with his friends, his mum Lorin was overjoyed.Aged 13, he was quickly invited into a gaming group where he would spend time playing against his pals on various platforms.With a keen interest in gaming and technology, the teenagers from Surrey spent evenings ‘laughing, gaming and socialising’ with one another. But when Lorin noticed a ‘deeper sounding voice’ coming from her son’s room, alarm bells started to ring.The fun quickly stopped as the concerned mum began to work through a web of lies to uncover the identity of the unknown man whose manipulation meant he was able to turn the teenager against his own family.AdvertLorin has told of how she was ‘up against brick walls’ at every turn, and how her desperate attempts to report the predator on the other side of the screen went unheard until it was too late.Their harrowing story will now be told in a documentary airing on Prime on 20 October, titled From Minecraft to Murder: The Killing of Breck Bednar. It will reconstruct the pattern of online manipulation which tragically claimed Breck's life.Breck Bednar loved gaming with his friends (Essex Police)"I noticed a deeper sounding voice... my mum ears pricked up"In an interview with LADbible, Lorin told of the moment she first realised something was wrong."Breck had reunited with friends he knew from primary school, and they invited him into a gaming group," she explained.“At the time I was so pleased because he loved gaming, technology and computing. He just understood how things worked.“I was glad that he would meet up with the guys at school and then they'd make a plan and meet up in the evening, gaming and socializing. I could hear them laughing and joking. They were just having fun.“But at one point I noticed there was a deeper sounding voice within the gaming group. Immediately, my mum ears pricked up. I was like, who is this that sounds older?“I asked Breck how he knew him and if he was the same age, and he said to me, ‘mum, he runs the server. He’s super clever. All the guys have been gaming with him for years’.Lorin with her son Breck, who tragically died (Submitted)"He had nothing bad to say about this stranger, but I still felt like we didn’t know who he was. A lot of people thought I was paranoid, but that’s what parents do. We have rules, we have worries and we have concerns.“I really struggled to get anyone to believe at that point there could be anything untoward about this relationship. But as a parent I felt I had a right to question an older sounding voice, who in the end, turned out to be a predator.“In the back of my head, I always thought that this predator was older. I pictured some creepy, fat, old guy in his underpants trying to entice the boys to send them naked photos. It made me sound even more paranoid."Breck, who played games like Battlefield and Call of Duty with his friends, was actually communicating with an older teenager called Lewis Daynes, who ran the online server.Within weeks of playing alongside him, Breck, a member of 135 Squadron Air Training Corps, began refusing to go to church, said he didn't need to go to school, and stopped sitting with his family during mealtimes.Breck loved gaming with friends online but was slowly groomed by an older teenager (Essex Police)Breck's personality 'changed' as he was groomed onlineLorin described how his ‘personality changed’ and that she knew he was being groomed, sharing her concerns with police and the school. Her son had also become more distant from friends and family.But looking back, she said there was a lack of understanding and education about grooming, especially when boys were the victim. Despite this, she always trusted her instincts.“I actually didn't really know that much about grooming other than what I had heard in the news,” she said. “It was usually about the poor girls who were groomed in Rotherham and Rochdale and groomed face to face with drugs and sex involved, so it was a completely different situation.“But I still felt like he was mentoring them, teaching them, but also changing the way they thought. Breck would say odd things like ‘Lewis says I shouldn't have to join the family dinner if I'm not hungry. Lewis says I shouldn't have to go on family walks anymore. Lewis says I don’t have to finish school because he can get me an amazing job'."And I felt like I was suddenly up against some stranger who was like some other parent."Lewis Daynes' mugshot before he was jailed for more than 20 years (Essex Police)She went on: “I could tell it wasn’t a healthy relationship. I tried to talk to other parents and they either didn’t want to know or I didn’t have their contact details. I felt like I was up against brick walls.”“I could tell something didn’t feel right, but I couldn't get anyone to believe me. Breck thought he was just having fun, and I think when you are being groomed, it’s enjoyable because this person is paying so much attention to you.“I didn’t know it at the time, but Breck was getting gifts, free software, free games. So it was probably more exciting for them learning from this predator than sitting in a class.”Breck was groomed by Lewis Daynes after meeting on gaming platforms (Getty Stock)Concerns raised to policeWhen Lorin would enter Breck’s bedroom, she claimed Lewis would organise for witches to appear on the gaming screen When I’d go into Breck’s room, I’d see gamers on one screen in a bid to embarrass her son.She eventually called the police and informed them of Lewis’ name, explaining how the Essex-based teenager had claimed to be a different age and falsely from New York.Nothing went any further, despite Lewis previously being reported for offences on other young victims.After an intervention meeting with other involved parents, Breck had his devices taken off him.Essex Police were contacted (John Keeble/Getty Images)But what Lorin didn’t know, was that Breck had secretly recorded the conversation with an old MP3 player, which was given to Lewis and revealed that ‘they were onto him’.“Then it all became even more dangerous because it went underground,” Lorin confessed. “When I spoke to people, they would all say ‘Breck’s a nice boy’ and ‘he’ll grow out of it’.“Nobody looked at him as having a vulnerability because he was a schoolboy. This predator was finding those vulnerabilities. He was building them up and making them feel like he was giving them more attention than their parents who actually loved them. So I became the bad guy. I became the one who was ‘holding Breck back’.“I did take all his technology away, which was the last straw. I told him I was worried and wanted him to be safe, but he couldn’t see it. He didn’t feel unsafe. He enjoyed the flattery, the attention, the mentoring.”Unbeknownst to Lorin, Lewis had actually sent Breck a new phone, which they used to keep in communication with one another in secret.“Once Lewis knew that we didn’t want him in the boys’ lives everything became so secretive that we actually thought we had fixed the problem,” Lorin said. “He went back to acting normally, he was doing his chores when asked, sitting with us at dinner, involved in family activities. I had no idea the police investigation had been closed either, and there was nothing new to report.”However, it was on 17 February, 2014 that horror struck.Breck, who had been due to stay with his father over the weekend, never arrived. Instead, he said he was sleeping at a friends house, but had secretly travelled to see Daynes after months of talking in the gaming forums.Hours later, Breck’s three siblings began to receive text messages that their brother had been murdered, and that photos of him had been callously posted on social media.Pictures of his body had also been shared in their online gaming group, and word quickly spread.Daynes, who was then 18, had managed to lure Breck to his flat on the premise of handing a fictional computer business. Instead, he was fatally stabbed in the throat.There was also evidence of sexual activity between the two shortly before Breck was killed, a court heard at the time.Chelmsford Crown Court was told how Daynes had promised Breck ‘great wealth’ through a fictional computer business.The following morning, Daynes called the police and told them Breck had tried to take his own life, and in the struggle to save him, he had stabbed him.But it was noticed how duct tape had been used to tie Breck's ankles and wrists, and his clothes were found in a bin bag in Daynes' flat.Lorin and Breck (Supplied)“Breck got hurt because he made mistakes, and didn’t realise that online friends are different to real-life friends,” Lorin explained.Computer engineer Lewis, who was 19 at the time of being sentenced to life in prison, was told he would have to serve a minimum term of 25 years for the attack.There were serious questions over the police handling of the case after it was revealed that Daynes was arrested on suspicion of the rape and sexual assault of a 15-year-old alleged victim three years prior.The offences had been reported to police in 2011 but no action was taken, meaning they were only re-investigated when he was questioned over the murder.“There’s children that are dying”In the years after the fatal attack, grief-stricken mum Lorin went on to set up the Breck Foundation to raise awareness of online dangers and to promote responsible use of the internet.She told LADbible: “I wanted to really educate people about what a healthy relationship is, whether that is online or face to face.“I am not a tech person, so I never endeavoured to teach about the intricacies of computing and gaming, it was more about recognising when someone is asking you to do something that isn’t good for you and is manipulation.Mum Lorin LaFave has spoken out (Multitude Media)“I wanted it to have a real focus on education. It started out as awareness of grooming, awareness of online harms. Not to scare anyone, not to take it all away, but to be more empowered. Then it became empowering young people to try to stand up against this behaviour.“As time went on, I realised I could educate until I'm blue in the face, but we really need law changes and we need changes in the platforms themselves to have safety by design.“Being a teenager is an amazing and fun time - if you make it through. There are children that are dying for all sorts of reasons and being harmed in all sorts of different ways.“So many people have said that by using Breck's story, it just makes this more real. Breck was one of the early atrocities. But maybe if Breck and his friends heard a story like this, things would be different.”The Breck Foundation was set up in memory of the teenager (Breck Foundation)Lorin has previously been an advocate calling on tougher social media restrictions and championing the UK’s Online Safety Act.It will see the introduction of age limits on certain platforms and a social media ban on under-16s from next March.“This is why when we talk about a ban, I don’t like that wording at all. I don’t want to ban or take anything away from anyone.“I feel strongly about raising the age of social media to give young people more time to just grow, gain their education and get a bit more maturity so they can better recognise an unhealthy relationship.”Essex Police issues responseA statement issued by Essex Police in 2015 confirmed that an independent complaints procedure found that the initial investigation into Daynes' allegations against another minor was 'thorough'.A statement read: "The Independent Police Complaints Commission has conducted an independent investigation into previous contact between Essex Police and Lewis Daynes relating to an allegation made against Daynes in 2011 of serious sexual assault."The IPCC concludes that the Essex Police 2011 criminal investigation was thorough and in accordance with Force policies. The IPCC has stated that the Essex Police officers’ decision in 2011 to take ‘no further action’ against Daynes was appropriate in the circumstances."Daynes did not come to Essex Police’s attention again until February 2014 following the death of Breck Bednar."Daynes was subsequently convicted for the murder of Breck Bednar and sentenced to a minimum of 25 years imprisonment following a detailed investigation by the Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate."

Studenti optužuju vlast za ilegalno snimanje i planiranje hapšenja New

Studenti optužuju vlast za ilegalno snimanje i planiranje hapšenja

Protest Ti i ja, Slavija, jer studenti pobeđuju Foto:Marko Ljutica /Nova.rs autor: 18. okt. 2026. 21:08 Studenti u blokadi koji na izbore izlaze kao "Studentska lista - Studenti pobeđuju" saopštili su večeras da znaju da im vlast snima sastanke, kao i da pred završni miting u četvrtak na Slaviji pripremaju hapšenja studenata, poručujući da mogu sve to da rade, ali da neće naći ništa protivzakonito. Oglas "Znamo i šta nam spremaju za poslednju nedelju izborne kampanje. Najprljavije laži, najveće podmetačine i još jaču represiju nad onima koji su dve godine na ulici. Pa da im odmah kažemo: Snimajte. Slušajte. Preslušavajte. Nećete naći ništa protivzakonito", saopštili su studenti na društvenoj mreži Iks (X).ПРИСЛУШКУЈТЕ, ЧУЋЕТЕ ДА СТУДЕНТИ ПОБЕЂУЈУ! Знамо да нам снимају састанке. Знамо да се пред велики скуп на Славији припремају хапшења студената. Знамо и шта нам спремају за последњу недељу изборне кампање. Најпрљавије лажи, највеће подметачине и још јачу репресију над онима који су две године на улици. Па да им одмах кажемо: снимајте. Слушајте. Преслушавајте. Нећете наћи ништа противзаконито. На нашим састанцима не договарамо ништа што је против закона. Не радимо ништа што је против закона. Кампању водимо легално и немамо шта да кријемо. Две године нас Информер и остали режимски медији, заједно са самим државним врхом, представљају као насилнике, криминалце и непријатеље сопствене земље. Измишљали су нам планове, приписивали туђе насиље и покушавали да нас оптуже за све што им је пало на памет. А сада су отишли још даље. Већ се шири прича да наводно планирамо да отмемо сопственог колегу, па да за његову отмицу оптужимо власт. Ово не схватамо као још један обичан спин. Ово схватамо као директну претњу. Јер шта ако сутра неко од наших колега нестане? Шта ако га затворе ко зна где, а онда нам са националних фреквенција саопште: „Па рекли смо вам да су сами све организовали”? Где ће тада бити наш колега? Ко ће знати шта му се догодило? Зато о овоме говоримо сада. Да нико сутра не може да каже да није чуо. Имамо информације и да се припремају нови такозвани документарни филмови којима ће нас блатити на националним телевизијама. Спремају нова хапшења, нове претње и нове лажи. Све оно чиме су нас нападали претходне две године сада покушавају да стрпају у последњих седам дана кампање. Нећете нас уплашити. Нећете нас ућуткати. Нећете нас натерати да одустанемо. Можете да снимате сваки наш састанак, да монтирате филмове, да измишљате завере и да претите хапшењима. За две године сте имали довољно времена да схватите да то не функционише. А кад сте нас већ толико слушали, могли сте нешто и да научите. Рецимо, шта је демократија, како се организују слободни и поштени избори и како изгледа борба за власт без претњи, уцена и насиља. Џаба вам све. Студенти побеђују!— Studenti_u_blokadi (@studentblokade) October 18, 2026Na studentskim sastancima, kako su naveli, ne dogovaraju ništa što je protiv zakona, ne rade ništa što je protiv zakona, a kampanju, kako tvrde, vode legalno i nemaju šta da kriju."Dve godine nas Informer i ostali režimski mediji, zajedno sa samim državnim vrhom, predstavljaju kao nasilnike, kriminalce i neprijatelje sopstvene zemlje. Izmišljali su nam planove, pripisivali tuđe nasilje i pokušavali da nas optuže za sve što im je palo na pamet", dodaje se u saopštenju.Prema njihovoj oceni, sada su otišli još dalje, jer se širi priča da navodno planiraju da otmu sopstvenog kolegu, pa da za njegovu otmicu optuže vlast."Ovo ne shvatamo kao još jedan običan spin. Ovo shvatamo kao direktnu pretnju. Jer šta ako sutra neko od naših kolega nestane? Šta ako ga zatvore ko zna gde, a onda nam sa nacionalnih frekvencija saopšte: 'Pa rekli smo vam da su sami sve organizovali?' Gde će tada biti naš kolega? Ko će znati šta mu se dogodilo?", pitali su oni.Dodali su da zato o tome govore sada, da niko sutra ne može da kaže da nije čuo."Imamo informacije i da se pripremaju novi takozvani dokumentarni filmovi kojima će nas blatiti na nacionalnim televizijama. Spremaju nova hapšenja, nove pretnje i nove laži. Sve ono čime su nas napadali prethodne dve godine sada pokušavaju da strpaju u poslednjih sedam dana kampanje", dodaje se u saopštenju.Poručili su da time neće biti uplašeni, ućutkani, niti naterani da odustanu."Možete da snimate svaki naš sastanak, da montirate filmove, da izmišljate zavere i da pretite hapšenjima. Za dve godine ste imali dovoljno vremena da shvatite da to ne funkcioniše", dodaje se u saopštenju.Poručili su vlastima da su, kada su ih već toliko slušali, mogli nešto i da nauče, poput toga šta je demokratija, kako se organizuju slobodni i pošteni izbori i kako izgleda borba za vlast bez pretnji, ucena i nasilja."Džaba vam sve.

Ukraine Launches Major Drone Attack on Putin's Hometown, Targets Oil Industry New

Ukraine Launches Major Drone Attack on Putin's Hometown, Targets Oil Industry

See more of our coverage in your search results. Ukraine targeted Vladimir Putin’s hometown of St. Petersburg as part of a barrage of 1,000 drones — one of the biggest attacks on Russia’s oil industry all year.The Petersburg Oil Terminal and the city’s Ruchi oil depot were engulfed in fires as part of defiant attacks after Ukraine rejected President Trump’s energy cease-fire. At least one person was killed and five others wounded in the attack on the oil facilities, regional Gov. Alexander Beglov said. An oil terminal burns following an air attack in Saint Petersburg, on Oct. 18, 2026.

AFP via Getty ImagesThe bombardment also targeted a logistics center belonging to Russian retailer Ozon, as well as a data center for the VK local tech giant, both companies confirmed. Russian strongman Putin grew up and was educated in St. Petersburg (then Leginingrad), and served as a deputy to the mayor in the 1990s.Russia’s Ministry of Defense claimed its forces destroyed 1,015 Ukrainian drones over 15 Russian regions, including in annexed Crimea and in the Black Sea. Ukraine launched more than 1,000 drones in its strike in St. Petersburg. STRINGER/EPA/ShutterstockKremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said the bombardment was evidence that Ukraine continues to “resist” the Russian invasion, but he warned such attacks would have no luck in changing “the current course of events.” The Kremlin has maintained that it will win the war despite suffering some of its most heaviest losses this year, a point Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky echoed as he vowed to keep the attacks coming. “The trend this year continues – since the start of fall, our warriors have liberated more territory than the Russians have managed to capture,” Zelensky said on Sunday. Fishing enthusiasts fish on the Neva river embankment in Petersburg, Russia, on Oct. 18, 2026, as black smoke rises in the distance. STRINGER/EPA/Shutterstock“Our front is strong, and I thank every warrior and every one of our units that is carrying out its tasks in full,” he added. The Ukrainian president also reiterated that attacks would continue against Russian oil facilities despite Trump’s call for an energy cease-fire as he pushed for a US deal to buy Moscow’s diesel. Since the president announced the cease-fire, Russia has fired more than 76 attacks on Ukrainian energy, oil and gas facilities, Zelensky said. Zelensky was outraged by Russia’s continuing aerial bombardment of his country’s energy infrastructure. ZUMAPRESS.com“America should see that Russia is not taking any reciprocal steps in response to sanctions relief or agreements,” the Ukrainian president said. “On the contrary, they take every signal of an opportunity to make money as proof that their bet on war is paying off and they can keep fighting.” War analysts have repeatedly warned that Russia would pummel Ukraine’s energy sector ahead in the fall to force Kyiv to make major concessions or face yet another brutal winter. Trump has defended the cease-fire and diesel deal with Russia, with the president signing an executive order on Friday to waive planned restrictions against Moscow, citing US national interest. “We’ll figure it out, and you’ll figure it out. But it’s a very good decision, and it’s going to be a decision that’s good for the country, and I think good for the world,” Trump  said on Saturday.  With Post Wires

"And now we have this absolute teacher, my brother, who says, ‘I’m gonna be very human for everyone'."There’s only so much you can hide from the world. And trying to put a lid on something just makes the person feel like you’re ashamed of them."'Walked through the fire to find yourself'Presley's loved ones offered him similar words of encouragement in the comment section of an Instagram post he shared back in May, with mum Cindy describing him as a 'warrior'.She wrote: "Walked thru the fire to find yourself!

Francuska: Više od 1.800 uhapšenih dok protesti zahvataju Evropu New

Francuska: Više od 1.800 uhapšenih dok protesti zahvataju Evropu

Talas masovnih protesta zahvatio je Francusku, Italiju, Belgiju, Portugaliju i Albaniju, gde stotine hiljada građana, među kojima je veliki broj mladih, izlaze na ulice zbog visokih troškova života, problema u obrazovanju, niskih plata i nezadovoljstva vlastima. Najdramatičnija situacija je u Francuskoj, gde je uhapšeno više od 1.800 ljudi, dok je više od 500 pripadnika policije, žandarmerije i vatrogasnih službi povređeno. Protest je odneo i prvu žrtvu. U Italiji su demonstranti zauzeli centralni trg u Milanu, a u Albaniji studenti otvoreno pozivaju na revoluciju i zahtevaju ostavku premijera Edija Rame. Oglas Protesti koji poslednjih dana tresu više evropskih država, nisu deo jedinstvenog, koordinisanog pokreta, ali imaju zajedničke uzroke – sve teže životne uslove, rast troškova stanovanja, nezadovoljstvo obrazovnim sistemom i osećaj mladih da im političke vlasti ne nude sigurnu budućnost.Mladi su postali pokretačka snaga demonstracija koje su tokom prethodnih nedelja zahvatile više evropskih zemalja. Iako se njihovi zahtevi razlikuju, sve češće se čuju poruke protiv političkih elita, korupcije i pogoršanja javnih usluga.🚨 JUST IN Due to the riots in France, the magnificent City Hall of Limoges, inaugurated in 1883, has been set on fire It was considered a historic monument, with a beautiful 141-foot-high bell tower that has collapsed I am truly speechless and furious https://t.co/n9gqieSPjX— Mambo Italiano (@mamboitaliano__) October 17, 2026Francuska: Više od 1.800 uhapšenih, zapaljene gradske većniceFrancuska je doživela jedan od najnasilnijih protestnih dana poslednjih decenija. Prema podacima Ministarstva unutrašnjih poslova, na demonstracijama je učestvovalo oko 550.000 ljudi, dok organizatori tvrde da ih je bilo čak 800.000.Protesti su održani u više od 100 gradova, a samo u Parizu okupilo se oko 110.000 demonstranata.Najnoviji podaci koje je u nedelju objavio francuski ministar unutrašnjih poslova Loran Nunez pokazuju da je uhapšeno 1.800 ljudi, dok je više od 500 policajaca, žandarma i vatrogasaca povređeno, prenosi Gardijan. Mohammed Badra / EPA „Republika neće popustiti pred onima koji pokušavaju da nametnu nered i nasilje“, poručio je Nunez, naglašavajući da je protestovanje osnovno pravo, ali da napadi na policiju, javne ustanove i pljačke ne mogu biti opravdani. Mohammed Badra / EPA U Parizu su demonstranti razbijali izloge luksuznih prodavnica i supermarketa, palili automobile i napadali policijska vozila. Gradske vlasti upozorile su da su pojedine ulice potpuno devastirane. YOAN VALAT / EPA U Limožu je teško oštećena istorijska gradska većnica, stara više od 140 godina, nakon što su maskirani demonstranti provalili u zgradu i izazvali požar. U Marselju su demonstranti demolirali unutrašnjost gradske većnice, dok je u Lionu zapaljena zgrada turističkog biroa.Pljačke i sukobi zabeleženi su i u Bordou, Nici, Nantu, Strazburu i Lilu.Ekipa televizije Juronjuz napadnuta je u Parizu dok je izveštavala o pljački supermarketa. Mohammed Badra / EPA „Kada su videli da snimamo, počeli su da udaraju mog snimatelja i pokušali da mu otmu mikrofon. Opkolili su nas, gurnuli ga uza zid i počeli da ga udaraju“, ispričala je novinarka Estel Nilson-Žilijen.Predsednik Emanuel Makron poručio je da će odgovorni za nasilje biti pronađeni i kažnjeni.Protestni talas počeo je u septembru, kada su srednjoškolci počeli da demonstriraju zbog nedostatka nastavnika, loših uslova u školama i nedovoljnih ulaganja u obrazovanje. Njihovom pokretu vremenom su se pridružili sindikati, radnici i pristalice Žutih prsluka, koji su 2018. godine pokrenuli masovne proteste protiv ekonomskih mera Makronove vlasti.Istovremeno, francuska policija suočava se sa optužbama za prekomernu upotrebu sile.Prema navodima medija, jednom demonstrantu je pozlilo i srušio se na Bulevaru Maženta u Parizu, dok je tim delom francuske prestonice prolazila protestna povorka.Drugi demonstranti preneli su ga u centar za hitnu medicinsku pomoć Šato d'O, ali uprkos pokušajima da mu se spase život, muškarac je preminuo. YOAN VALAT / EPA Petnaestogodišnji učenik u Lansu ostao je bez šake nakon eksplozije policijske granate tokom protesta, dok je šesnaestogodišnjak u Turu izgubio vid na jednom oku, navodno nakon što ga je pogodio gumeni projektil. Francuska protest / BETAPHOTO AP Photo/Laurent Cipriani Gardijan navodi da su pokrenute interne istrage povodom 36 prijava navodnog policijskog nasilja tokom studentskih demonstracija.Italija: Milano kao bojno polje, policija se povlačila pred demonstrantimaU Italiji su protesti protiv visokih troškova života, cena goriva i poreskog opterećenja prerasli u nasilne sukobe u više gradova. Italija protest / Stefano Porta/LaPresse via AP Najdramatičnije scene zabeležene su u Milanu, gde su stotine maskiranih mladih ljudi, obučenih u crno, zasipale policiju kamenicama, flašama, petardama i metalnim ogradama.Prema italijanskoj agenciji ANSA, demonstranti su primorali policiju da se privremeno povuče i zauzeli čuveni trg Duomo, jedan od simbola Milana.Policija je kasnije dovela pojačanja i opkolila trg sa dvadesetak vozila, koristeći suzavac i vodene topove. Italija protest / Stefano Porta/LaPresse via AP U sukobima su povređena najmanje četiri policajca i 20 demonstranata, dok je privedeno više od 50 mladih ljudi, od kojih su gotovo polovina maloletnici, navodi ANSA.Neredi su se proširili i na okolinu čuvene galerije Vitorio Emanuele II, gde su prodavnice zatvarale vrata, a turisti napuštali područje. Privremeno je bila zatvorena i stanica metroa Duomo. Italija protest / Stefano Porta/LaPresse via AP Sukobi su zabeleženi i u Torinu, gde su se protestima pridružile radikalne aktivističke i propalestinske grupe, kao i u Bolonji, gde su maskirani demonstranti napadali policiju u blizini železničke stanice.In Italia come in Francia, le proteste degenerano in violenza.

Pretvaranje naših gradova u zgarišta nije“, poručila je Meloni. Italija protest / Stefano Porta/LaPresse via AP Gradonačelnik Milana Đuzepe Sala ocenio je da su razlozi protesta razumljivi, ali da nasilje nad policijom i uništavanje grada nisu opravdani. Italija protest / Stefano Porta/LaPresse via AP Albanija: Studenti žele revoluciju kao u Francuskoj, Rama tvrdi da je sprečen napad na VladuTalas protesta zahvatio je i Albaniju, gde su demonstracije poprimile izraženiji antivladin karakter. Albanija protest / BETAPHOTO AP Photo/Hameraldi Agolli Studenti i drugi demonstranti zahtevaju ostavku premijera Edija Rame, reformu obrazovanja i odgovornost vlasti zbog optužbi za korupciju.Protesti u Tirani eskalirali su 15. oktobra, kada su sukobi demonstranata i policije trajali više od osam sati. Tokom nereda oštećene su državne zgrade i poslovni objekti, dok je policija koristila suzavac i vodene topove.Protesters clashed with police in Tirana, demanding Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama's resignation over corruption and education-neglect allegations https://t.co/FleApLV7II https://t.co/mqTtd2f7SO— Reuters (@Reuters) October 17, 2026Prema tadašnjim podacima, uhapšeno je 35 osoba, a povređena su 23 policajca i šest civila.Nasilje se nastavilo i narednih dana. BBC je izvestio da su se u subotu, 17. oktobra, demonstranti i policija sukobili peti dan zaredom, a centar Tirane sve više je podsećao na ratnu zonu. Albanija protest / BETAPHOTO AP Photo/Hameraldi Agolli Maskirani demonstranti, među kojima su bili brojni srednjoškolci i studenti, gađali su policiju kamenicama, Molotovljevim koktelima i pirotehničkim sredstvima.Policija je odgovorila suzavcem i vodenim topovima, a pojavili su se i izveštaji o upotrebi gumenih metaka. Albanija protest / BETAPHOTO AP Photo/Hameraldi Agolli Prema BBC-ju, protiv 80 osoba podignute su optužbe zbog nereda, dok su stotine drugih uhapšene ili se nalaze pod istragom.„Bili smo mirni 135 dana. Sada pokušavamo da uradimo isto što i u Francuskoj. Pokušavamo da izvedemo revoluciju“, rekao je za BBC devetnaestogodišnji student medicine koji učestvuje u protestima. Albanija protest / BETAPHOTO AP Photo/Hameraldi Agolli „Naša vlada ne želi mir, zato koristimo nasilje“, dodao je.Za razliku od protesta u drugim evropskim zemljama, gde dominiraju zahtevi zbog životnog standarda i javnih usluga, demonstracije u Albaniji usmerene su i protiv političkog sistema i korupcije.Dodatno nezadovoljstvo je izazvao kontroverzni projekat izgradnje luksuznog kompleksa na albanskoj obali, povezan sa Džaredom Kušnerom, zetom američkog predsednika Donalda Trampa. MALTON DIBRA / EPA Jedan od prepoznatljivih simbola albanskog protestnog pokreta postao je ružičasti flamingo.Istovremeno, Rama tvrdi da iza dela nasilja stoje strani akteri koji pokušavaju da destabilizuju Albaniju i zaustave njen put ka Evropskoj uniji.Premijer je u nedelju izjavio da su bezbednosne službe neutralisale dron sa eksplozivom kojim je, prema njegovim tvrdnjama, planiran napad na zgradu Vlade u Tirani.„Pre dva dana neutralisan je dron sa eksplozivom kojim je planirano da se pogodi zgrada Vlade i zapali njeno unutrašnje dvorište“, rekao je Rama.On je nagovestio moguću umešanost Irana, ali njegove tvrdnje zasad nisu nezavisno potvrđene.Uprkos zahtevima demonstranata, Rama odbija da podnese ostavku, dok njegova Socijalistička partija i dalje ima parlamentarnu većinu.Belgija: Sukobi u Briselu i Liježu, policija koristi vodene topoveNasilni incidenti zabeleženi su i u Belgiji, gde studenti već nedeljama protestuju zbog povećanja troškova obrazovanja i najavljenih reformi visokog školstva.U Briselu su se demonstranti sukobili sa policijom u četvrti oko berze, gađajući pripadnike snaga bezbednosti flašama i drugim predmetima. Belgija protest / Zuma / SplashNews.com / Splash / Profimedia Policija je odgovorila suzavcem i vodenim topovima, dok su slične mere primenjene i u Liježu.Belgijski ministar unutrašnjih poslova Bernar Kanten ocenio je da događaji prevazilaze okvire legitimnih demonstracija. Belgija protest / Zuma / SplashNews.com / Splash / Profimedia „Ovo više nije samo protest. Ovo je čisto nasilje, organizovano i ponavljano sa ciljem destabilizacije našeg društva“, poručio je Kanten, prenosi Juronjuz.Studenti u Belgiji upozoravaju da bi povećanje školarina i troškova studiranja moglo dodatno da oteža pristup visokom obrazovanju, posebno porodicama sa nižim primanjima.Portugalija: Desetine hiljada ljudi traže veće plate i jeftinije stanoveZa razliku od Francuske, Italije i Albanije, protesti u Portugaliji protekli su uglavnom mirno.Desetine hiljada građana izašle su na ulice Lisabona zbog visokih životnih troškova, niskih plata i sve teže dostupnosti stanova.Tens of thousands march in Lisbon over housing and living costs https://t.co/MTl6Fm6NiF https://t.co/MTl6Fm6NiF— Reuters (@Reuters) October 17, 2026Cene nekretnina u Portugaliji više su nego udvostručene od 2017. godine, dok su kirije za nove ugovore o zakupu porasle gotovo istim tempom.Demonstranti su na centralnom trgu Rosio postavili oko 40 šatora kako bi upozorili na stambenu krizu.„Portugalska društvena klasa koja plaća poreze i održava ovu zemlju napadnuta je i gubi svoja prava, naročito pravo na stanovanje“, izjavila je za AFP četrdesetšestogodišnja socijalna radnica Elena Kosta.Portugalski ministar za parlamentarna pitanja Karlos Abreu Amorim poručio je da vlada „neće popustiti pred povicima sa ulice“.Demonstranti, međutim, optužuju vlasti da ne razumeju probleme građana i da ne preduzimaju dovoljno kako bi obuzdale rast troškova stanovanja.
