Germany is facing a growing storm of public unrest as thousands protest Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s sweeping military commitments to Ukraine. From Munich to Hannover, demonstrators accused Merz of dragging Germany into war and undermining national security. The outcry intensified after Berlin approved long-range missiles for Kyiv with no strike restrictions, prompting condemnation from Russia.
Domestically, Merz faces backlash over militarization, weakened social programs, and immigration policies. As opposition grows, Germany stands at a critical crossroads in both foreign and domestic policy.
