From the United States to Europe and Latin America, growing social discontent is fueling protests against political elites and an increasingly unequal system.

On GrinGo, Rubén Luengas is joined by international analysts Aníbal González and Enrique Romero to examine the roots of this global unrest. Romero argues that the social contract established after the French Revolution, built around the rejection of absolute power and the state's responsibility to guarantee basic needs, has been undermined by elite interests, corruption, housing shortages, and declining economic security.

These failures are particularly affecting younger generations, intensifying social frustration and contributing to falling birth rates. The discussion also examines Donald Trump's role in this broader political landscape and the extent to which his actions reflect a deeper crisis of the established order.
