Gen Z Protests Reach Germany: Thousands Rally in Berlin
Thousands of young people rallied at Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate on Saturday as “Gen Z Regelt” protests spread to more than 30 German cities over the cost of living, education cuts and possible military conscription. Police put the Berlin crowd at about 5,000; organisers claimed around 10,000. The afternoon rally was largely calm, though scuffles broke out in Cologne and police stopped a separate evening march in Berlin after objects and fireworks were thrown.
