They looted and attacked police in several German cities

On Sunday, police secured the sites of riots in Frankfurt, where looted stores needed protection. Significant property damage is still being assessed, and the number of injured remains unclear. The most severe disturbances occurred in downtown Frankfurt, with reports of vandalism and attacks on police. Authorities deployed special police units due to ongoing unrest. Hessen's interior minister indicated several police officers were injured, with one possibly seriously hurt. The violence was attributed to around a hundred suspected left-wing extremists. Protests demanding better schools and affordable living preceded the riots, with tens of thousands of young people demonstrating across Germany. While most protests were peaceful, some cities experienced disturbances, including Cologne, Berlin, Hamburg, and Bremen. Similar protests against living costs occurred in other European countries, including France and Italy.
