Gen Z Protests Sweep Berlin

Over 160,000 people are expected to gather in Berlin for Halloween rallies, per Reuters, as Gen Z-led protests spread across Germany. The demonstrations are fueled by concerns over cost of living and climate change.

The U.S. Embassy has issued a demonstration alert for Berlin, warning of potential unrest and heightened security measures, de.usembassy.gov reports. Residents are advised to avoid large gatherings.

Flight DEOCH is climbing out of Berlin at 1,800 feet, heading northeast, as the city prepares for the weekend protests. The rallies have prompted local authorities to increase police presence.

Berlin's far-left mayoral frontrunner has revealed fears about Hamas-linked supporters in the city, Haaretz notes. The comments come amid broader concerns over political radicalization and security.
