G8 summit in Heiligendamm, Germany

Tomorrow the leader of the 7 largest industry states and Russia will meet up at Heiligendamm, a small town on the Baltic Sea of Germany. Heiligendamm and the Hotel where the meeting will take place are completely fenced in. Everybody is talking about the necessity of such a high safety regulations. But after a demonstration on Saturday in Rostock (a big city near Heiligendamm) which turned into a war with anarchists and police this seems to be justified. It is so sad that a peaceful demonstration ended up so bad. “Deine Stimme gegen Armut” has to be strong but not in that way. www.deine-stimme-gegen-armut.de

“It was supposed to be a peaceful demonstration. But suddenly, it turned into a war with anarchists battling it out with police. Almost 1,000 people were injured. But what went wrong?“
