Demonstrations against the G7 summit in Geneva escalated Saturday, resulting in clashes between protesters and police. An estimated 20,000 people initially participated in what began as a peaceful march. However, the protest turned violent with demonstrators setting a Tesla vehicle on fire and vandalizing a bank, breaking its windows. Police responded by deploying tear gas to disperse the crowd, after being targeted with stones. The protests reflect opposition to the policies and influence of the Group of Seven nations. Authorities are investigating the incidents and assessing the extent of the damage.
