  "account": "German interior minister Alexander Dobrindt praised the successful deployment of police forces during nationwide protests on Halloween, which drew fewer participants than expected. Despite initial peaceful demonstrations, violent clashes and looting erupted in several major cities, including Berlin, Frankfurt, and Munich. The police reported 27 officers injured and 56 protesters detained in Berlin, while in Frankfurt, shop windows were smashed and Molotov cocktails were thrown at police. Authorities vowed to take a hard stance against perpetrators, with Dobrindt and regional leaders promising severe consequences.",
  "summary": "Thousands of young people are demonstrating under the slogan \"Gen Z takes care of it\" for better living conditions. In the evening, there are riots and attacks on police officers in several cities.",
