VIDEO Germania vrea să reformeze pensiile și să taie beneficiile sociale. Circa 175.000 de oameni, în stradă • Newsweek România

Approximately 175,000 people protested across Germany against planned government spending cuts, including social benefits and pension reforms. The German Trade Union Confederation (DGB) criticized the government's proposals, emphasizing the need for secure jobs and good working conditions. Protests occurred in major cities, reflecting concerns over job security, particularly in the automotive sector. The DGB had announced these protests earlier, and despite recent electoral setbacks for the ruling coalition, Chancellor Friedrich Merz insisted that reforms must proceed.
