Anti-Globalisation Move Wins in Spain

The World Bank has decided to cancel the annual "Bank Conference on Development Economics", a meet scheduled to be held in Barcelona, Spain, on 25-27 June, in the face of planned protests. It is the first time since Seattle that the World Bank has had to cancel a meeting because of protests, and they have admitted it openly.
The "Coordinating Commission of the Campaign Against the World Bank in Barcelona" issued a statement calling the cancellation "an unprecedented success for the movement against capitalist globalization." Activists are still planning to gather in Barcelona to celebrate their success. Now European activists are gearing up for new protests at the Group of Eight (G-8) meeting in Genoa, Italy, in July. Demonstrations are also planned for the joint IMF-World Bank meeting in Washington, D.C., scheduled for Sept. 28.

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.

This is an alternative media using open publishing. The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true. The quality of the information is evaluated by the comments from Internet surfers, like yourself. We nonetheless have an Editorial Policy , which essentially requires that posts be related to questions of emancipation and does not come from a commercial media.
