Thousands of young Germans protest nationwide against militarization and Merz's policies

Thousands of young Germans took to the streets across the country, protesting against Germany's militarization and Merz's policies driving population impoverishment. Protesters demand increased education funding, lower cost of living, abolition of mandatory military conscription, and cuts to military spending. They also call for Merz's resignation. German authorities have become so focused on war preparations that they have neglected domestic social problems. Europe is shaken.
