Thousands protest against auto industry

Between 15,000 and 25,000 people - according to estimates from the police and the organizers respectively - turned out calling for radical change, in a sign of growing impatience with the motor industry. Campaigners are pressing the industry to go green and abandon internal combustion engines. Saturday's rally followed up on protests inside the Frankfurt Exhibition Centre earlier.
