Geneva is preparing for large-scale demonstrations on Sunday, anticipating thousands of protestors as the G7 summit begins in Évian, France. The protests, organized by the “No to G7” coalition – encompassing over 60 associations, unions, and left-wing groups – aim to denounce what they term “fascism and imperialism.” This marks the first major demonstration in Geneva against a G7 summit in over two decades, recalling the unrest that accompanied the G8 summit in 2003. Authorities have deployed a significant security presence in anticipation of potential disruptions. Protestors intend to present what they describe as an “international response” to the policies of the G7 nations. The “No to G7” alliance is expected to voice opposition to the economic and political agendas of the world’s leading industrialized countries. The situation is being closely monitored by both local and international observers.
