Violent protests erupted in Germany, particularly in Frankfurt, Berlin, Köln, and Hamburg, with clashes between demonstrators and police. The unrest was sparked by high living costs and was marked by looting and vandalism. Thousands participated in largely peaceful demonstrations organized by the group "Gen Z regelt," advocating for better public services and against mandatory military service. However, some extremists infiltrated the protests, leading to violent incidents, including attacks on police and property damage. Authorities reported numerous arrests and heightened police presence to manage the situation. Similar protests occurred across Europe, reflecting widespread discontent over living conditions.
