Hundreds of people rallied in the German city of Hanover on Tuesday to protest against planned cuts to social welfare spending, accusing Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s government of prioritising defence outlays over social needs. Demonstrators criticised proposed savings of about €5 billion a year from welfare programmes as parliament prepares to approve more than €50 billion in military procurement, citing rising inflation, job losses and pressure on households. The protest comes amid broader economic uncertainty in Europe’s largest economy following layoffs, high energy costs and weak demand.
