Rioters loot stores in Frankfurt as Gen Z-led protests in Germany turn violent
Tens of thousands demonstrated in 34 German cities on Saturday in protests organised by campaign group "Gen Z regelt" demanding better education funding and lower living costs, with demonstrations largely peaceful but turning violent in Frankfurt where hooded rioters looted stores. Police in Frankfurt, Munich and Berlin reported as many as 18,000 protesters, half the number listed on the organisers' website, and authorities warned of extremist groups attempting to exploit the movement.

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.
