The 2001 G7 summit in Genoa, marred by violent clashes, led organizers to choose secluded, picturesque locations for subsequent summits to maximize security, influenced by threats from Bin Laden and Black Blocs.
Thousands protested the G7 summit in Geneva, with clashes erupting between demonstrators and riot police. Violence included smashed bank windows, a car fire, and stone-throwing, leading to boarded-up businesses. Organizers aimed to highlight issues like environment and human rights.
Circa 20mila persone hanno protestato a Ginevra contro il G7 di Évian. Alla fine del corteo, scontri tra polizia e Black Bloc con lancio di oggetti, uso di lacrimogeni e idranti. Danni a vetrine, banche e un'auto incendiata.
