Gen Z protests reach Germany as thousands join Halloween rallies
Tens of thousands of people joined youth-led demonstrations across 34 German cities on Saturday, demanding better education funding and lower living costs, though police turnout figures were well below organisers' expectations. The protests, organised by campaign group "Gen Z regelt", were largely peaceful, with authorities warning of extremist attempts to exploit the movement and some barricades set on fire in Hamburg.

Who said what
the reports' own quoted words, each once
We are here today to fight for peace and freedom, rather than for war and coercion.
What matters most to us is better support for the health and education systems. We are against compulsory military service and we are in favour of a fairer distribution of the burden.
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
