Gen Z demonstration in Frankfurt changed its tone and broke out into serious riots. German police arrested 54 suspects, many of whom had immigrant backgrounds.

Last weekend, riots caused by Generation Z protests occurred in Frankfurt, Germany's economic center. Local officials said that the police arrested a total of 54 robbers or thugs who took advantage of the chaos, many of whom had immigrant backgrounds.

"Reuters" reported that Hesse Interior Minister Roman Poseck said at a press conference on Sunday that the police deployed as many as 1,300 police officers in response to the rally, but 17 stores were still vandalized by masked thugs, five of which were looted. The police subsequently arrested 54 suspects aged between 13 and 29, and more than 100 police officers were injured in the process.

Bosek explained that most of the arrested suspects are German citizens, and most of them have immigration backgrounds. "The police currently estimate that they are dealing with about 1,000 to 1,500 violent troublemakers, most of whom have immigration backgrounds."

Frankfurt police pointed out that these violent riots included smashing windows and throwing petrol bombs, rocks and bottles at emergency service personnel.

German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt said the perpetrators would be identified and held accountable. He emphasized to reporters: "I expect severe punishment. We will never accept this kind of incident and this kind of riot taking place here."

Dobrindt added that the riots were caused by "troublemakers from immigrant communities" colluding with left-wing activists and other far-left groups, without naming any groups involved.
