Protesters walk out after broken promises while 10,000 prepare to march today

One such event, a debate that was meant to be held yesterday between representatives of the World Economic Forum, which organizes the EES, and alterglobalists resulted in the latter party walking out of the meeting amid claims that the organizers had reneged on promises concerning the provision of live TV coverage and the lifting of restraints on AEF participants. It is estimated that around 10,000 people will today march through those parts of the city center not cordoned off by the police to voice their disapproval of the consequences of increased globalization and the American-led occupation of Iraq.
