Germany's Dobrindt calls for tough penalties after Frankfurt unrest, Bild says
- On Saturday, hooded rioters looted stores in Frankfurt and threw petrol bombs at emergency services, prompting police to arrest more than 30 individuals during the violent disturbances.
- Tens of thousands of demonstrators took to the streets of dozens of German cities demanding better education and lower living costs in protests led by the campaign group "Gen Z regelt."
- Frankfurt police reported windows being smashed during the violent disturbances; the strategy of maintaining a large presence across multiple locations successfully prevented larger scale violence.
- Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt praised police forces on Sunday, saying, "Excesses of violence like those in Paris were prevented thanks to our highly committed police forces."
- Dobrindt told Bild that rioters will be identified and held accountable, threatening tough penalties while accusing "violent left-wing groups and troublemakers from the migrant community" of hijacking the protests.
