She called for a solidarity-based society that protects workers' rights and ensures social security. Across Germany, hundreds of demonstrations took place, with tens of thousands of people protesting for their rights and job security. The unions are urging the public to raise their voices against the erosion of social standards and to advocate for a fairer distribution of wealth.
