    Looting, tear gas as youth anger spills over in Europe

    Paris, France

    • Rioters loot stores in Frankfurt as protests sweep 34 German cities • Police clear housing camps in Lisbon • France opens attempted murder probe after petrol bomb attack on officers FRANKFURT / PARIS / LISBON: Youth-led anger over living costs, housing and strained public services spilled onto streets across Europe over the weekend, bringing looting in Frankfurt, clashes in French cities and police raids on protest camps in Portugal. The demonstrations in Germany were organised by the ‘Gen Z regelt’ (Gen Z takes charge) group, which says it opposes compulsory military service and wants greater investment in education as many young Germans struggle with rising costs. Hooded rioters looted stores in Frankfurt late on Saturday night, after tens of thousands of demonstrators took to the streets across 34 cities, including Berlin and Munich. In Germany’s financial hub, at least two stores were looted as protests turned violent, with several more damaged and police trying to get the situation under control. In Hamburg, some barricades had been set on fire. German authorities said Saturday’s demonstrations, which coincide with Halloween festivities, had been largely peaceful, but warned of attempts by extremist groups to exploit the movement. The German interior ministry alleged that parts of Germany’s far-left extremist scene and some groups linked to foreign extremist movements have joined efforts to mobilise support. “We all have those images from France in our minds looting, burning houses, burning police vehicles, and attacks on police officers,” said Roman Poseck, interior minister for the state of Hesse, which includes Germany’s financial hub, Frankfurt. “France must not be held up as a model in this regard.” Some businesses across German cities boarded up windows and planned early closures ahead of the demonstrations due to concerns over possible unrest, including along Berlin’s luxury Kurf­uerstendamm shopping boulevard. Portugal Police moved into Lisbon’s Rossio Square before dawn on Sunday to clear a camp of more than 50 tents pitched after thousands marched on Saturday against a rental bill. After three warnings, dozens of officers, some with police dogs, dispersed hundreds of protesters using shields and some baton charges. A smaller camp in Porto was also dismantled. Protesters want the minority centre-right government to scrap a bill that would make evictions easier and end rent caps on new leases. House prices in Portugal have more than doubled since 2017, and rents on new leases have nearly doubled, hitting young people especially hard. Prime Minister Luis Montenegro has ruled out withdrawing the bill but said he is open to amendments before a final vote, while Socialist Party leader Jose Luis Carneiro urged talks with opposition parties and protesters. France Scuffles broke out in Paris and other cities after nationwide marches ended on the third weekend of protests since the riots and looting on Oct 17. Riot police charged small groups in Paris and fired tear gas in Lyon and Toulouse, while tensions in Marseille eased by nightfall. Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said order had been maintained despite “a great deal of violence”. Separately, French police have launched an attempted murder investigation after a petrol bomb was thrown at security forces during a weekend protest in Paris. “Explosive devices were thrown at around fifteen gendarmes as well as police officers,” the prosecutor’s office said on Sunday. No suspects “have been arrested at this stage in connection with the incident,” the prosecutor’s office said, adding that investigators were working to identify those responsible. The movement began in late September with students angered by run-down schools, overcrowded classrooms and a university admissions system seen as unfair, and has since drawn in trade unions and a resurgent Yellow Vest movement. Far-left leader Jean-Luc Melenchon headed the Paris march, while far-right leader Marine Le Pen leads polls ahead of April’s presidential election. Published in Dawn, November 2nd, 2026
