Over 160,000 people are expected to attend Halloween rallies in Germany, with Berlin set to host a crowd of 10,000+ as protests against cost of living concerns escalate, per Reuters.

Germany and France brace for widespread demonstrations this weekend, as Gen Z voices grow increasingly vocal on issues ranging from housing to climate policy, Al Jazeera reports.

Berlin's far-left mayoral frontrunner has voiced concern about potential Hamas-linked supporters among the protest movement, Haaretz notes, while heightened security is expected throughout the city.

The protests are part of a broader European youth wave, with Germans joining similar demonstrations across the continent, France 24 reports.
