The End of the EU as we Know it? Country Report on Street Protests and European Politics in Germany published
Current statistics show that street protests have gained more popularity in Germany over the recent years. What are the causes? Where are the roots of certain movements? What messages do they deliver to the government? What impact did they have on German and European politics so far?
