Youth protest: Diffuse goals, unclear organization, fear of violence - how does the Gen Z demo go?
On Saturday, young people want to take to the streets in more than 30 German cities. The police are preparing for a lot of work for Halloween.
On October 31, youth protests are planned in over 30 cities across Germany, with the largest expected in Cologne, where 15,000 participants are registered. The protests, organized by groups including "Gen Z regelt", address various issues such as poor schools, rising living costs, and an impending conscription. However, some groups have distanced themselves from the protests, citing concerns over unclear organizational structures and potential for violence.
Authorities are on high alert due to recent violent protests in France and Italy, and fear that the demonstrations could be hijacked by extremist groups.
