In Germany, authorities are preparing for nationwide demonstrations organized by the 'Gen Z regelt' movement, with protests planned in 23 cities and around 134,000 people registered to participate by Tuesday. The movement, involving young people born between 1995 and 2010, cites concerns over climate change, inequality, education, and future opportunities, with participants expressing frustration over declining school performance, teacher shortages, and deteriorating school infrastructure.
German politicians, particularly from the CDU, warn against potential violence similar to recent unrest in France, where protests over education and living costs turned violent, leading to arson, clashes with police, and a fatal shooting in Trappes and La Verrière on October 23. While sociologists note the German protests are officially registered and emphasize non-violence, concerns remain about possible infiltration by far-left extremists or criminal groups.
