The Berlin youth organization of the CDU has called for deploying the Bundeswehr against school protests

The youth wing of the Christian Democratic Union in Berlin’s Mitte district has proposed involving the Bundeswehr to prevent unrest during the school protests scheduled for October 31. In an Instagram post, the organization called for deploying the military in advance to “protect the free democratic order” and prevent “terror like in Paris.” It also states that the demonstrations must be stopped. An image created by artificial intelligence is used as an illustration: armed soldiers are standing in front of the crowd at the Brandenburg Gate. The appeal came against the backdrop of recent unrest in France, where youth protests were accompanied by clashes and vandalism. Organizers of the rallies in Germany, by contrast, emphasize that they support peaceful demonstrations. 

The use of the army to disperse demonstrations in Germany is not permitted. The Constitution allows the Bundeswehr to be deployed within the country only in strictly defined exceptional circumstances — for example, when there is a serious threat to the state order and the police are insufficient.
