Protesters carried banners with slogans addressed to the government of Germany, including "Chancellor Merz must leave," "His austerity policy is costing our future," and "No to cuts and war budgets."
From Cologne to Berlin through Hamburg, the gatherings took place without overflowing. Within the processions, consisting mainly of young people, the cost of living, the refusal of conscription or the difficulty of housing were at the centre of the demands.
For the first time since the social movement in France, a few tens of thousands of people demonstrated on Saturday 31 October in some 30 cities. They denounced the lack of investment in schools and universities, the cuts in the social system and too much money invested in defence.
