Cost-of-living protests to spread to Germany, reignite in France on Halloween

Anti-austerity and cost-of-living protests, which have included violent student demonstrations in Italy, Spain, Portugal, Albania, and France, are set to expand to Germany and resume in France on Halloween. Police are mobilizing to prevent looting and rioting at the fringes of planned peaceful rallies. The spread to Germany, a country with relatively strong labor protections, marks a notable expansion of the protest wave, though the scale and intensity remain uncertain.
