Demonstrationen: Ausschreitungen in mehreren Städten nach friedlichem Protest

After a peaceful protest of tens of thousands of young people, disorder broke out in several German cities in the evening. Police reported injuries in Frankfurt, while in Berlin, bottles, Molotov cocktails, and egg-throwing were reported. Firebreaks were set ablaze in Hamburg. Water cannons were deployed in several cities. Police in Berlin called on demonstrators to behave peacefully and clearly distinguish themselves from violence.

In Frankfurt, Molotov cocktails were thrown at police. According to the Hesse Interior Minister Roman Poseck (CDU), several police officers were injured. "A civil servant may also have suffered serious injuries, but that still needs further clarification," said Poseck. "One can no longer speak of a completely peaceful course," said a police spokesman in Bremen.

In Hamburg, the situation turned chaotic in the evening near Hauptbahnhof, with black-clad and sometimes disguised people setting off pyrotechnics, tearing down barriers, and setting them ablaze. Police intervened, separated the crowd, and used pepper spray against demonstrators. One trash can was set on fire. In several cities, water cannons were used.

At a demonstration in Berlin-Mitte near the well-known Hackeschen Höfe, there were egg and bottle-throwing incidents. Police asked demonstrators to behave peacefully and explicitly distance themselves from violence.
