Youth protest: "Gen Z regelt" hopes for more than 160,000 demonstrators
Schools, addiction support, climate protection: youth protests have many concerns. Nevertheless, the debate revolves primarily around possible violence. The organisers feel like they are not being heard.
The "Gen Z regelt" initiative expects over 160,000 participants in today's youth protests, with demonstrations planned in more than 30 cities. The group is demanding more funding for schools, addiction support, and psychotherapy, as well as measures against rising living costs, social justice, and increased climate protection. The organisers, who came together just a few weeks ago, are calling for peaceful protests and rejecting any form of violence, while some politicians, including Greens leader Katharina Dröge and Left party chief Luigi Pantisano, have expressed support for the protests. The AfD party, however, has warned of the danger of extremists hijacking the demonstrations.
