There was a massive demonstration in Geneva against the G7 summit, and riots broke out at the end
The French authorities have not allowed any demonstrations, so the No G7 has called for the mobilization to take place in Geneva . In general, the march has been peaceful, although a group of demonstrators have thrown stones and flares, and the police have fired tear gas.
Thousands of people — some 7,000, according to the police — have gathered today in Geneva , Switzerland, to protest against the G7 summit. The summit between the world 's seven most powerful countries begins tomorrow and ends on Wednesday in Evian, France, just 45 kilometres from Geneva. It was the only demonstration allowed, as France has banned any mobilization.
The demonstration was organised by the No G7 collective, composed of more than 60 associations, trade unions and left-wing groups, which wanted to take place in Evian, but France refused from the outset, and the Geneva authorities finally decided to allow the mobilisation in order to guarantee freedom of expression and the right to demonstrate.
The authorities have set up a limited route and a large police apparatus, with 4,000 military personnel coming to the aid of the police, who have closed 21 of their 26 border crossings with France.
The demonstration against the G7 summit coincides with a feminist march in the streets of Geneva, which has been generally peaceful, although several demonstrators have dropped explosives and set fire to a Tesla car, which has attacked the protesters and fired tear gas to disperse the demonstrators, who have thrown stones and flares at several UN buildings.
In statements to the Reuters news agency, a protester has been highly critical of the police device.They seek to intimidate, deter, and prevent citizens from protesting. Another protester has criticized the macho nature of the summit. The G7 represents misogynistic values and makes a difference.
