German automotive workers have taken to the streets as the industry faces mounting pressure. The protests come amid growing concerns over employment, with job losses expected in the sector.

The situation highlights how global trade tensions and shifting competitive dynamics are now converging on one of Europe's most important manufacturing sectors.
