A Powerful Revolutionary Movement (Part 1)

Forecast by astrologer Svetlana Dragan for 2026 (interview with Andrey Malakhov, January 13, 2026, link)

S. Dragan:

There will be a major restructuring in the economy, politics, and public life. In the first part of 2026, there will be a powerful revolutionary movement…

A major global restructuring in the economy, politics, and public life in 2026 has already been discussed in a number of Confirmations (January 30, January 31, February 5, March 27, April 1, April 2, April 8, April 11, April 22, and others).

Fundamental changes in these areas are largely connected with the start of the war in the Persian Gulf on February 28, 2026, and a number of other geopolitical and geoeconomic factors.

However, in addition to this restructuring, in her interview of January 13, 2026, S. Dragan drew attention to the fact that the first part of 2026 showed prerequisites for the emergence of revolutionary sentiment, which would develop into mass public protests against the dictates of ruling clans in many countries, primarily in Europe.

But it should be properly understood that revolutionary and even protest movements are not events that arise “instantly.” They go through a certain formative stage, with varying degrees of intensity in their development.

And while the formative stage in the winter and spring of 2026 was not very noticeable, “revolutionary activity” in Europe fully manifested itself with the beginning of summer 2026.

The first part of the Confirmation will examine some manifestations of the emergence of protest (revolutionary) actions.

The active phase of the protests and riots in the summer and autumn of 2026 in France, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Albania, and a number of other countries—which some political analysts already equate with revolutionary events—will be discussed in the second part of the Confirmation.

Recalling V. I. Lenin’s definition of a revolutionary situation, one understands that Europe is drawing ever closer to a situation in which “the upper classes can no longer rule in the old way, while the lower classes no longer want to live in the old way.”

According to experts, the processes of restructuring the world order today are driven by a struggle between globalists and forces advocating the preservation of states’ national identities.

In the first half of 2026, the inability of the “upper classes”—the Euro-globalists—to govern the European Union became all too evident, particularly vividly manifested in the form of a crisis of power in the leading EU countries, above all Germany, France, Britain, and Spain.

The following are cited among the main reasons for the decline in the approval ratings of these countries’ leaders and, accordingly, their parties and administrations:

• Unpopular reforms. The coalition of Euro-globalists promoted changes in pensions, taxation, and healthcare, such as raising the retirement age and cutting some healthcare benefits, and many Europeans did not support these measures.
• Economic difficulties. Rising prices and general economic uncertainty increased public dissatisfaction, while funding for the Kyiv regime and substantial increases in military-industrial spending continued.
• Criticism of migration policy and an emphasis on security issues, which also sparked controversy.
• Growing influence of the opposition, which is gaining real opportunities to come to power both in local government bodies and at the national level.

In Germany, the country’s chancellor “reached a record low” in popularity and trust. F. Merz’s approval figures fell month after month in the first half of the year, and at one point a historic low was recorded: January 2026—about 25%; February—a slight increase to around 27%; March—continued decline, about 24%; April—21%; May—18%; June—15%, according to Bild; July—13%. This figure was the worst in almost 30 years of ARD-DeutschlandTrend polling.

Accordingly, his party also lost the local government elections.

French President E. Macron was not far behind F. Merz in the approval-rating race. By the end of summer, his rating had fallen to 16%, the lowest figure since the beginning of his presidency, La Tribune Dimanche reported, citing the results of a poll conducted by Ipsos-Bva-Cesi.

As the publication notes, by mid-summer the disapproval rate of Macron’s performance had reached 81%.

For him, this is even worse than during the “yellow vest” period. <…> We see all the problems related to the dissolution of the National Assembly worsening: budget problems, declining purchasing power.

This was stated by Ipsos-Bva Deputy CEO Brice Teinturier.

As Teinturier noted, by the end of summer 2026, the idea that the situation in the country was becoming critical was gaining strength in French society. And this became apparent very soon with the start of mass protests (see Part 2 of the Confirmation).

The public’s attitude toward the leadership of other European countries and the EU governing apparatus was not much better than in Germany and France.

On June 22, 2026, Keir Starmer announced that he would step down as leader of the Labour Party and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. This happened after his loss of confidence among the Labour Party’s parliamentary faction and cabinet members became evident. Parliamentarians threatened to initiate the procedure for electing a new Labour Party leader, while ministers threatened to resign.

As of early June 2026, according to Ipsos polls, Keir Starmer’s performance was approved by only 18% of voters—the lowest level among prime ministers in many years. In local elections in May, Labour lost more than 1,500 seats on local councils amid the rising popularity of the right-wing populist Reform UK party.

As a result of the crisis among Britain’s “upper classes,” the leaders of Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland intend to demand from London the right to hold independence referendums.

In Spain, early elections had to be called because of mistakes in the government’s actions (see Part 2 of the Confirmation).

The decline in ratings affected not only the leadership of Europe’s national countries, but also the governing bodies of the European Union directly.

Since February 2026, experts have acknowledged that European unity was coming apart at the seams because of disagreements on key foreign-policy issues. These include relations with Russia, the Ukrainian conflict, the escalating confrontation with the United States, as well as migration and energy crises. There was also a whole range of unresolved specific issues: the expropriation of Russian assets, the use of Eurobonds, the creation of a European defense system based on the separate armies of EU countries, the volume of funding for the Kyiv regime, and a number of others.

Normalization is also not helped by the personal conflict between EU chief diplomat Kaja Kallas and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

As a result, two camps are beginning to form conditionally in the European Union: one led by Germany, supported by Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen; the other led by France, which has found support from Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and the leaders of several Eastern European countries.

In general, summarizing the situation in Europe and the world in the first half of 2026, it should be noted that, among other things, because of the inability of the “upper classes” to effectively resolve socioeconomic, foreign-policy, and domestic political problems, protest actions were observed significantly more often than in previous years; local demonstrations related to socioeconomic problems, dissatisfaction with the authorities’ actions, or political crises were recorded; and civil society became more active, with the role of independent trade unions, environmental organizations, and movements advocating social change increasing.

In the first half of 2026, a wave of protests swept through the world which had not yet reached the level of tension of the subsequent autumn demonstrations of 2026—people took to the streets in different parts of the world for a wide variety of reasons.

Protests in Greenland

In May 2026, hundreds of people gathered in Nuuk, the capital of the Danish autonomous territory, including outside the local parliament. The occasion was the opening of an expanded U.S. consulate and statements by American politicians about the island’s “bright” future. Participants advocated sovereignty: they chanted “Greenland belongs to Greenlanders” and demanded that only the territory’s population determine its future.

Anti-government demonstrations in Bolivia

Since May 2026, large-scale protests had continued unabated in the country. They were caused by deep economic problems: acute shortages of fuel and essential goods, high inflation, and a lack of foreign currency. Various groups took part in the actions: teachers demanding salary increases and changes to the education system; representatives of Indigenous peoples and peasant communities protesting against a law facilitating land concentration; and miners seeking new mines and stable supplies. Protesters blocked roads, causing disruptions in food and medicine supplies. The authorities made concessions by cutting the salaries of the president and government members, but protesters insisted on the leader’s resignation.

Student protests in Albania

The unrest began back in May 2026 with demonstrations by environmental activists against the construction of a resort complex in a protected coastal area—on Sazan Island and the Zvërnec Peninsula. Later, the protests grew into a broader movement called the “flamingo revolution”: protesters chose these birds as a symbol of the struggle, as they could suffer from the construction. In October, the actions took on a political character: students demanded the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama, lower education costs, improved employment opportunities, and a fight against corruption. The protests were accompanied by unrest: the buildings of the Ministry of Education and two banks were set on fire, while police used water cannons and tear gas.

Protests in France

Although the peak of the large-scale wave came closer to the end of September–October 2026, the movement originated precisely in the first half of the year.

Rallies in Spain

At the end of July 2026, tens of thousands of migrants from Morocco broke through into Spanish territory, comparable to the entire population of the city of Ceuta. The military had to be deployed to maintain order. Seventy thousand undocumented migrants were deported, but many still remain there and are building makeshift settlements on the beaches.

Local authorities expect another influx. Relevant calls have appeared on social media. Military personnel in Ceuta were ordered to be prepared to repel an assault.

In protest against the authorities’ inaction, a wave of rallies and mass unrest swept across Spain. The demonstrators included representatives of four religious communities at once: Christian, Muslim, Hindu, and Jewish. They accused the government of inaction and demanded the prime minister’s resignation.

In the first half of 2026, the prerequisites for a crisis situation—and, under certain conditions, a revolutionary situation—were also forming in countries outside Europe. The “explosion” of protests occurred in the summer and continued into the autumn of 2026.
