German Cost Protests
Youth protests over the cost of living in Germany escalated into clashes and riots in Frankfurt, Hamburg and other cities on Saturday evening, after spreading to more than 30 cities. Organizers said tens of thousands had taken part, though no official figures were released. They were calling for improvements to education and healthcare, climate protection and a more affordable standard of living, and protesting the reinstatement of compulsory military service. In Frankfurt, a gun shop was looted and projectiles were thrown at police, while police in Hamburg used water cannons and tear gas. The daytime gatherings had been largely peaceful.
