Southern European parties reframed class conflict as generational conflict

Evidence

Disproportionately unemployed—or forced into a low-wage service sector—the euro-generation was generally offered an unattractive choice between two options: living with their parents well into their thirties, or migrating in search of decent jobs. … Indeed, progressive and conservative actors alike increasingly tended to reframe social antagonism along those lines. Podemos, for instance, tried to pinpoint (youth) emigration, rather than immigration, as the main problem faced by Spanish society. — Arthur Borriello and Anton Jäger, The Populist Moment, 90
