Germany's Streets Descend Into Chaos As Protesters Loot Shops And Attack Police

Germany has been rocked by a night of violent unrest as youth demonstrations over education and the rising cost of living spiralled into riots across several major cities. Frankfurt witnessed some of the worst scenes, with hooded rioters smashing shop windows, looting stores and attacking police officers. At least two stores were looted, several others were damaged, and 30 people were detained. Several protesters and police officers were also injured before authorities managed to bring the situation under control by early Sunday morning. The demonstrations, organised by the Gen Z regelt campaign group, took place in 34 German cities. The group later distanced itself from violence. Meanwhile, Switzerland also witnessed clashes in Zurich, where masked protesters set fires, launched fireworks and damaged shops and public transport stops.
