Next Stop: G-8 In Genoa
(...)
By Greg Butterfield
Just the threat of protests was enough to cancel a World Bank conference on
global poverty scheduled for June 24-25 in Barcelona, Spain. The World Bank
moved its conference to cyberspace, but the protest went ahead as scheduled.
Mass protests and street fighting had rattled European Union leaders at
their summit meeting in Gothenburg, Sweden, 10 days earlier. Police had
opened fire on anti-globalization protesters with live ammunition, wounding
three people--one critically.
Nineteen-year-old Hannes Westberg, a member of the Syndicalist Youth
Movement in Sweden, had been shot in the back. His liver, spleen and kidneys
were damaged and he was still on a respirator at the end of June, according
to the weekly Arbetaren.
(note. Westberg has since died of his wounds. mart.)
In Barcelona, as many as 50,000 people-including labor unionists, Basque and
Catalan nationalists, immigrants, communists and anarchists--held a militant
but peaceful march through the city, denouncing the World Bank for its role
in causing, not solving, world poverty.
But police attacked the marchers at the ending rally site. Nineteen people
were arrested and 32 injured in the police riot.
Now both sides in the struggle against global imperialist institutions are
gearing up for a new showdown in Genoa, Italy, during a meeting of the Group
of 8 starting July 20. The G-8 includes the seven most powerful imperialist
countries-the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Japan, Canada and
Italy-plus capitalist Russia.
