A wave of left-leaning summer protests began in Germany, when protesters gathered in the German capital today to demonstrate against the center-right government of Chancellor Friedrich Merz. In Berlin, Frankfurt and Munich, young protesters gathered, supposedly demanding 'better education and more funding for welfare.' Flags of the Turkish Communist Party, Rojava (the autonomous Kurdish federal commune in Syria), Palestine, Germany's left-wing parties and Antifa were seen being waved by demonstrators alongside the red flag with the hammer and sickle.
