🇩🇪 Mass Protests in Germany and France: In Germany, the Yellow Vests movement held positions against Chancellor Merz. Organizations claimed 36,000 participants across Berlin, Frankfurt, and Munich; police counted up to 18,000 people. In Berlin, 5,000 gathered at the Brandenburg Gate. Demands included lower living costs, education funding, and an end to compulsory military service. Clashes broke out in Hamburg (water cannons used) and Cologne (police stopped the march after stones were thrown). French authorities reported 320,000 demonstrators nationwide, including 70,000 people in Paris. This is the third consecutive Saturday of protests. While mostly peaceful, clashes occurred near Porte de Charenton, where police used tear gas against bottles and fireworks. Protesters also gathered in Poland near the Constitutional Tribunal. @Slavyangrad
