Berlin protests over fuel prices

Hundreds of motorists gathered in Berlin to protest exorbitant fuel prices, forming a column of vehicles eight kilometers long outside the German Chancellor's residence. The demonstration, during which protesters chanted for Chancellor Friedrich Merz to leave, was part of an eventful night in the capital. Separately, a power outage in the evening left over 1,300 private households in the area without electricity, as reported by Bild. The protests highlight growing public discontent over economic pressures in Germany.
