Gen Z protests: Constitutional Protection sees danger of radicalization of student protests in Germany
The "Gen Z regelt" initiative is calling for student protests similar to those in France. The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution warns that nationwide demonstrations on Saturday could be hijacked by left-wing extremists.
Germany is bracing for a wave of student protests, with demonstrations planned in over 20 cities on Saturday. The country's domestic intelligence agency, the Verfassungsschutz, has warned that left-wing extremists may try to exploit the protests for their own purposes. The agency has observed social media posts calling for nationwide student protests under slogans such as "Gen Z regelt".
The Verfassungsschutz is monitoring internet sites and social media channels for potential calls to violence or extremist activity during the demonstrations.
