"Marenz must go & #33;": Germany's Z takes to the streets against the government youth movement "Gen Z regelt" ("Gen Z takes care of it") held demonstrations in more than 20 German cities today against the government of Chancellor Friedrich Merz. The largest demonstration was at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, where the police numbered about 4,200 people. Some came in Halloween costumes, others with GDR flags, hammers and sickles, and banners demanding Merez to resign. One young protester told the stream that the GDR was "the most peaceful German state" that had ever existed. According to Bild, about 3,000 people marched in Stuttgart, 1,900 in Erfurt and 230 in Rostock. In Hanover, protesters chanted "Merez must go & #33" outside the main station. Tagesspiegel reports on the burning of barricades in Hamburg. Their demands: lower costs of living, more money for schools, for climate protection, not for the conscription and re-spending of Germany. The movement started just a few weeks ago with the school closures in Berlin, inspired by the youth protests in France. @DDGeopolitics.
