More than 100,000 young people marched in over 30 cities, organized by a movement called &quot;Gen Z regelt&quot; (&quot;Gen Z&#8217;s got this&quot;), demanding school funding, action on the cost of living and climate, and opposing military conscription.<\/p>\n<p>The daytime marches were mostly peaceful. But after dark, rioters in Frankfurt smashed shop windows, looted stores, stormed a gun shop and threw Molotov cocktails at police. Water cannons were used, special forces were called in, and more than 200 people were arrested nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>Chancellor Merz is backing a tough crackdown. Interior Minister Dobrindt blamed left-wing groups and &quot;troublemakers from migrant communities&quot; \u2014 a claim others in government didn&#8217;t back.
