Gen Z protests reach Germany as thousands join Halloween rallies
- On Saturday, October 31, the youth-led initiative 'Gen Z regelt' launched nationwide protests in Germany, with organizers expecting over 100,000 participants across 23 cities to demand improved education, lower costs, and climate action.
- Addressing rising living costs and environmental concerns, the movement follows recent youth-led mobilizations across Europe, including significant unrest in France under the slogan "broken schools and austerity."
- German security authorities deployed extra police nationwide, warning that extremist groups might attempt to hijack the demonstrations, citing risks of co-option and public disorder.
- Businesses along Berlin's Kurfuerstendamm boarded up windows and planned early closures; Hesse Interior Minister Roman Poseck warned that "France must not be held up as a model" regarding recent violent clashes.
- Saturday's demonstrations precede a nationwide strike mobilization called by the inter-union coalition for November 5, signaling sustained momentum in youth-led activism across Europe.
