Central European unrest and mineral competition

Germany sees rising unrest as cost-of-living protests turn violent, with shops looted as demonstrators demand economic relief, per BBC notes.

Meanwhile, European nations are increasingly eyeing Central Asia's critical minerals, as producers push for local processing to capture more value from resource extraction, Bloomberg reports.

In a separate development, investigations reveal a coordinated campaign of hate against Ukrainians in Central Europe, raising concerns about integration and social cohesion, according to Kyiv Independent.

Germany’s political consensus on security faces growing pressure from both left and right, as divisions emerge over defense and foreign policy approaches, per CEPa analysis.
