🇩🇪 Riots spread across German cities as stores looted and barricades burned. In Berlin, 120 rioters clash with police with Molotov cocktails. As Hessian Interior Minister Roman Posek reported, during the riots in Frankfurt am Main, 17 stores were damaged and five were looted. Police detained 54 people aged 13 to 29. “The group of offenders was predominantly from a migrant background,” Posek noted. Around a hundred police officers were injured, one of them seriously. Riots were also recorded in Hamburg and Cologne, where barricades were set on fire, shop windows smashed, and stores looted. German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt linked the violence to “left-wing groups and hooligans from a migrant background” and promised “severe punishment” for those involved in looting. Unrest continued after the main day of protests. On the evening of November 1, in Berlin’s Märkisches Viertel district, a group of about 120 people spent two hours launching fireworks and throwing stones and Molotov cocktails at police. The initiative “Gen Z regelt” announced it will hold its next action on November 20.
