Large demonstrations have taken place across Germany, and some have descended into violence with police firing water cannon at people throwing Molotov cocktails.<\/p>\n

Several police officers were injured on Saturday after tens of thousands of people joined youth-led protests across the country organised by the group \u201cGen Z regelt\u201d (Gen Z has got this).<\/p>\n

The demonstrations, inspired by similar movements in France and Italy, remained largely peaceful during the day.<\/p>\n

But tensions escalated in the evening as groups of young people refused to disperse. Violence was reported in major cities, including Frankfurt, Berlin, Cologne and Hamburg.<\/p>\n

\u201cGen Z regelt\u201d said about 120,000 people took part in the protests, below the roughly 180,000 it had expected.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
