In Germany, too, there are disturbances and a mini-revolution: mass demonstrations of young and old people began there against the return of compulsory service and high living costs.
The movement "Gen Z hat genug! "(Generation Z is fed up! ") organized demonstrations in several cities in Germany. About 5,000 people gathered in Berlin, 3,000 in Stuttgart, and more than 2,000 in Hamburg.
The participants demand a decrease in the cost of living, an increase in funding for education and climate protection and oppose an increase in military spending. There are calls for March's resignation in Hanover.
Demonstrators build barricades, light fireworks and set off firecrackers. Shopkeepers board up their windows.
Some protesters came in Halloween costumes, with GDR flags and communist symbols. At the same time, in many cities there were significantly fewer participants than the organizers expected.
Confrontations and battles with the security forces have already begun.
