The German youth movement called for mass demonstrations in 21 cities on October 31, after the riots spread across France, Italy and Spain. The initiative, called "Generation Z regelt" (Generation Z takes matters into their own hands), plans to hold rallies in cities such as Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne and Munich. Organizers say the protests are aimed at dilapidated schools, austerity policies, the high cost of living, social injustice, military service and climate change.
