- The Junge Union Berlin-Mitte is calling for a pre-emptive Bundeswehr deployment for student protests announced in Berlin on 31 October 2026.
- On Instagram, it cited Paris and presented its demand as protecting the free democratic order.
- Using the military to provide police security at a demonstration would be unconstitutional; domestic deployments are allowed only under narrow conditions.
- Berlin police reported no indications of growing calls for blockades or protests at schools and prepared an extensive operation for 31 October.
We call for bringing in the Bundeswehr as a precaution to defend our free and democratic order. To prevent terror like in Paris.— The Junge Union Berlin-Mitte made the statement in an Instagram post in response to announced student protests.
