Violent riots erupted in downtown Frankfurt, Germany, on Saturday night, with stores looted and police clashing with protesters. Disturbances were also reported in cities such as Berlin, Hamburg, and Cologne. Earlier in the day, protests organized by "Gen Z regelt" (Gen Z Rules) against issues like underfunded schools, high cost of living, cuts to public spending, and military conscription remained largely peaceful, but turned violent after nightfall. Frankfurt police stated that multiple suspects have been arrested and weapons confiscated, while Hesse Interior Minister Roman Poseck claimed that about 100 "left-wing extremists" had infiltrated the protests.
