The full story

On October 31, 2026, thousands of youths and students demonstrated in Frankfurt and numerous other German cities as part of nationwide protests organised by the campaign group Gen Z regelt. Demonstrators voiced opposition to underfunded schools, cuts to education, healthcare, and social services, the rising cost of living, and government preparations for military conscription. According to sources, thousands marched across dozens of German cities, with organisers claiming over 120,000 participants nationwide across more than 30 major cities. During the Frankfurt demonstrations, some participants attempted to break a store window selling weapons. Lawmakers were urged to listen to young people as frustration over a lack of opportunities and social funding spread across Europe.
