At the second day of World Economic Forum (that took place in Ukrainian capital from 16th till 17th of June) protest actions of radical antiauthoritarian initiative “World is not for sale” was organized. Its activists run a piquet in front of “Ukrainian House” where WEF took place. Bright anti-WTO posters, fire show, drumming and dancing were accompanied by the “Food not Bombs” action. Free distribution of food was supposed to show the ways of non profit cooperation between of people out of limits imposed by capitalistic globalization. What journalists and photographers liked the most was an action of three activists from “Left Initiative”. They took down their trousers and showed their asses on which “WTO” were written.

At the same time there are some freaks in our country who try to support so called European and world wide “orientation” of Ukraine, which means opening of local markets to invasion of foreign capitals. It will follow destruction of the possibilities to nationalize the most important economic branches, which can only save the real political right for citizens of this country.
Not far from the our action several activists of organization “Pora” stayed with one but big poster “East and West in Ukraine invest”. Having supported in such a way the summit the main aim of which was to deprive and oppress “Pora” showed their real face — to serve for new political masters looking for some career benefit and to fix a capitalistic “democracy” in our country. Activists from “Food not bombs’ brought those people from “Pora” some free food and tried to collect some money for them, but Pora rejected any such “help” and were keeping to ask WEF for investments. When it began raining they run away to hide somewhere and left their poster. It was immediately stolen by four activists from “World is not for sale”. )) During the action there was no incident with authorities from the part of protestors.

Besides one day before “World is not for sale” organized a demonstration of movies about catastrophic influences of economic globalization. As members of initiative declared they fight the expansionist policy of structures like WTO, IMF which lead Ukrainian society to the whole pauperization and mankind - to established new world order. “World is not for sale” initiative was created specially to run protests against WEF, it includes activists form Kyiv hardcore scene, anarchists, anti-fascists, trotskyists and other left movements.
