After "Gen Z" demos: "Shocked" by violence in Frankfurt

Following peaceful protests organized by "Gen Z regelt," violent clashes erupted in Frankfurt, leading to significant unrest. Hessian Prime Minister Boris Rhein expressed shock over the violence, emphasizing that those responsible would face consequences. The protests, initially aimed at advocating for social justice and climate action, turned chaotic with attacks on police and vandalism. The police responded with heavy measures, including water cannons and helicopters. A spokesperson for "Gen Z regelt" distanced the initiative from the violence, reaffirming their commitment to peaceful protest. The group plans to mobilize again for a European protest on November 20, despite concerns about the involvement of extremist groups.
