65% of Germans will experience large-scale protests and riots in autumn and winter. What are the reasons behind this?

According to German media reports, opinion polls show that 65% of Germans will engage in large-scale anti-epidemic and riots in autumn and winter. Recently, some climate activists have already protested and marched on the streets. On August 12, 2022, hundreds of supporters of the climate organization protested in a certain area of ??Germany. They protested at the construction site of a liquefied natural gas terminal and carried slogans that broke the shackles of petrochemical capitalism. On August 13, 2022, the conflict escalated again, when the organization mobilized more than 400 climate activists and occupied the only railway line leading to the container terminal. Traffic in Germany was affected to some extent. In response to the protest, the police also dispatched 1,400 police officers.

The protesters sprayed pepper on the police, and the police also took corresponding actions, such as high-pressure water cannons, pepper spray, batons, etc. This incident is undoubtedly very absurd, and it also reflects some problems in Germany. Germany will face an unprecedented dilemma in the next few months. High energy prices have brought great disasters to many families. However, climate activists do not agree with the launch of coal-fired power plants and are also very opposed to importing natural gas. Broadcast media report that Germans are getting colder in their homes and that protests in the streets will become increasingly violent.

Natural gas, oil, and electricity are becoming more and more expensive, and some manufacturers have to shift the burden to consumers. When people face high expenditures, they will have doubts, and social unrest will also occur, which will bring great instability to society. Some extremist groups take advantage of this opportunity and may incite ordinary people to stage protests. In an interview, the German Prime Minister also expressed that he was very worried that high energy bills would cause unrest in German society. He was also very worried that this incident would become a fuse and detonate a powder keg in Germany.

Germany is a country very short of energy and relies on energy imports from Russia to a certain extent. However, the EU has imposed sanctions on Russia, causing Germany to face the dilemma of energy shortage. If Germany does not find alternatives to natural gas, it will inevitably make it very difficult for the German people in the autumn and winter. This is an issue that the German authorities need to consider, and it is also an issue that German politicians need to reflect on.
