A newly established movement in Germany, “Gen Z regelt! Studis” (“Gen Z Decides! Students”), plans to organize a mass strike at universities across the country on November 20, joining Europe-wide protests.

Axar.az reports, citing foreign media, that the main objective of the protest is to bring university teaching activities to a near-complete standstill.

The protesters are demanding a significant increase in state funding for education, a legal ban on short-term employment contracts for academic staff, the introduction of a wealth tax and a complete halt to military research at universities.

The movement is also calling for the resignation of German Chancellor and Christian Democratic Union (CDU) leader Friedrich Merz.
