Cost-of-living protests that began in France are spreading to Germany with tens of thousands of people expected to turn out across the country on Saturday for demonstrations that coincide with Halloween.
The new German youth-led movement dubbed “Gen Z has got this!” will see people protest against the high cost of living, underfunded schools and universities, environmental concerns and a potential reintroduction of mandatory military service. Protests are planned in major cities including Berlin, Frankfurt, Cologne and Munich.
