  "account": "Berlin - In response to nationwide protests against cuts to social benefits, DGB chief Yasmin Fahimi has called on the federal government to take consequences. \"The federal government must take this signal seriously. We expect them to make a timely course correction and discuss our concrete proposals with us,\" Fahimi told Deutsche Presse-Agentur in Berlin. On Saturday, according to DGB, 175,000 people demonstrated across Germany for a strong social state and against cuts. Police statistics indicated between 20,000 and 25,000 people in Nuremberg, 16,000 in Stuttgart, 15,000 in Frankfurt am Main, 13,000 in Hannover, and 12,000 in Essen participated in the protests. The DGB organized demonstration marches and gatherings in 15 cities. Fahimi believes the demonstrations clearly showed workers' expectations for the protection of social security and worker rights. \"Social cuts and dismantling of labor rights are not tools for active economic policy,\" she stated. Fahimi demanded \"a convincing agenda for protecting and strengthening our EU single market\" and announced constructive accompaniment.",
