法蘭克福／柏林，10月31日（路透社）—— 德國多個最大城市數以萬計示威者走上街頭，要求改善教育並降低生活成本後，週六晚間，戴著兜帽的暴徒在法蘭克福洗劫商店。FRANKFURT/BERLIN, Oct 31 (Reuters) - Hooded rioters looted stores in Frankfurt late on Saturday after tens of thousands of demonstrators took to the streets across Germany's biggest cities to demand better education and lower living costs.

這些抗議延續了今年歐洲一波由Z世代主導的示威。在塞爾維亞，學生主導的行動協助透過選舉讓該國長期領導人下台；法國的抗議則演變成暴動與洗劫。The protests followed a wave of Gen Z-led demonstrations across Europe this year. In Serbia, student-led activism helped unseat the country's longtime leader at the ballot box, while protests in France have descended into rioting and looting.

這場由倡議團體「Gen Z regelt」——德文意為「Gen Z takes charge」（Z世代掌舵）——組織的德國抗議，在柏林、法蘭克福和慕尼黑等34個城市舉行。該團體表示，反對義務兵役，並希望加大教育投資；許多年輕德國人正苦於成本上升。The German protests organised by the campaign group "Gen Z regelt" — "Gen Z takes charge" in German — took place in 34 cities including Berlin, Frankfurt and Munich. The group says it opposes compulsory military service and wants greater investment in education as many young Germans struggle with rising costs.

據一名路透社目擊者說，在德國金融中心法蘭克福，抗議轉趨暴力，至少兩家商店遭洗劫，另有數家店面受損，警方正試圖控制局勢。In Frankfurt, 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, according to a Reuters witness.

法蘭克福警方在X上表示：「暴力騷亂仍在持續。市中心多家商店窗戶遭砸毀。也有人向緊急服務人員投擲汽油彈。我們呼籲所有旁觀者避開市中心，或離開該區域。」"Violent disturbances are continuing," Frankfurt police said on X. "In the city centre, windows have been smashed at several shops. Molotov cocktails are also being thrown at the emergency services. We urge all bystanders to avoid the city centre or to leave the area."

週六下午的官方數字顯示，出席人數似乎低於主辦方原先預期的18萬2000人。法蘭克福、慕尼黑和柏林警方通報最多有1萬8000名抗議者，約為主辦方網站所列約3萬6000人的一半。Official numbers on Saturday afternoon suggested turnout was below the 182,000 participants that organisers initially expected. Police in Frankfurt, Munich and Berlin reported as many as 18,000 protesters, half the roughly 36,000 on the organisers' website.

德國當局表示，週六示威適逢萬聖節慶祝活動，整體上大致和平，但也警告極端團體企圖利用這場運動。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.

在漢堡，一些路障已被縱火。In Hamburg, some barricades had been set on fire.

Gen Z regelt發言人莉娜・弗里德里希週六在柏林表示：「我們今天來到這裡，是為了和平與自由而戰，而不是為了戰爭與強制。」"We are here today to fight for peace and freedom, rather than for war and coercion," Gen Z regelt spokesperson Lina Friedrich said in Berlin on Saturday.

「對我們而言最重要的，是為醫療與教育體系提供更好的支持。我們反對義務兵役，並支持更公平地分擔負擔。」"What matters most to us is better support for the health and education systems. We are against compulsory military service and we are in favour of a fairer distribution of the burden."

德國聯邦內政部表示，德國部分極左翼極端主義圈人士，以及一些與外國極端主義運動有關的團體，已加入動員支持的行列。Parts of Germany's far-left extremist scene and some groups linked to foreign extremist movements have joined efforts to mobilise support, according to the federal interior ministry.

涵蓋德國金融中心法蘭克福的黑森邦內政部長羅曼・波塞克表示：「我們腦海中都有那些來自法國的畫面——洗劫、房屋燃燒、警車燃燒，以及攻擊警察。」"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.

「在這方面，法國絕不能被奉為榜樣。」"France must not be held up as a model in this regard."

由於擔心可能發生動盪，德國各城市部分商家在示威前封板保護窗戶，並計畫提早打烊，其中包括柏林精品商店林立的選帝侯大街。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.

主辦方聚焦於他們認為歐洲最大經濟體中年輕世代承受的日益沉重壓力。Organisers have focused on what they see as the growing pressure on younger generations in Europe's largest economy.

18歲、預定在慕尼黑一場集會上發言的史蒂夫對總理弗里德里希・梅爾茨喊話說：「政府對我們的關切沒有提出任何回應，除了繼續削減開支，並在我們身上堆加更多負擔。」"The government has offered no response to our concerns other than to continue making cuts and piling further burdens upon us," said Steve, an 18-year-old due to speak at a rally in Munich, addressing Chancellor Friedrich Merz.

「在你停止無視我們之前，我們會持續行使我們集會的基本權利。」"We will continue to exercise our fundamental right to assemble until you stop ignoring us."

德國一直難以重振經濟成長。隨著嬰兒潮世代退休、工作年齡人口縮減，該國的年金與公共服務也面臨愈來愈大的壓力。Germany has struggled to revive economic growth. The country also faces growing pressure on pensions and public services as baby boomers retire and the working-age population shrinks.

由於參與其中的政治與公民社會團體組成廣泛，外界已對誰在推動這場運動，以及它是否真正由青年主導提出疑問。Questions have been raised about who is driving the campaign and whether it is genuinely youth-led, given the broad mix of political and civil society groups involved.

德國全國中學生傘狀組織BSK已與這項倡議保持距離，並計畫在11月20日另行舉辦抗議日。Germany's national school student umbrella organisation, BSK, has distanced itself from the initiative and plans to hold a separate day of protest on November 20.

柏林工業大學學生西恩・貝克表示，他週六會加入抗議，以喚起外界注意校園建築狀況不佳。Sean Baker, a student at the Technical University of Berlin, said he would join the protests on Saturday to call attention to the poor state of buildings on campus.

他告訴路透社：「當你走進去、進入那些教室時，看起來就像一棟廢棄建築。然而，這裡卻是我們被期待定期上課念書的地方。」"When you go inside and enter the rooms, it looks like an abandoned building," he told Reuters. "Yet this is where we're expected to study on a regular basis."
