Protests Hit Major German Cities as Thousands Demonstrate Against Surging Energy Costs​

The protest organizers “estimated the total turnout at about 24,000 — including around 6,000 in Berlin, 5,000 each in Düsseldorf and Frankfurt, and 4,000 in Stuttgart.
Thousands of people took to the streets in Berlin, Frankfurt, and other large German cites against rising energy prices and the soaring cost of living as the country faces a bitter winter amid a dwindling fuel supply.

In Berlin, the police talked of a “quiet and relaxed” situation and estimated that the number of participants peaked at around 2,800. Protesters carried placards such as “We fight for every sector and every job” and “No sale of Hamburg port to China” [a reference to the proposed takeover of the Hamburg port terminal by the Chinese state-owned shipping company COSCO]. The organizers spoke of 6,000 demonstrators.

With electricity becoming unaffordable and businesses closed due to high energy costs, organizers of the Saturday’s demonstration are calling the government to intervene.

This is just ramping up folks....Not even winter yet. Cost of living rising at the same time business is closing their doors .. Even if it is a reduced work week.
Another thing never mentioned... All these Islamic immigrants that entered. Over 95 % are unemployed. . Courts have started to allow family members to come into the country... You would be freezing and hungry while these folks live the good life

Germany went to war with Russia before over oil and energy. I guess they can do it again.

Germany has already taken over russian owned refineries

What are they using to feed those refineries? I'm quite sure Russia wouldn't just be shipping oil in if they no longer control them.
