Many people protest in Geneva. The protest is against the G-7 meeting. The meeting is in the city Evian. France forbids protests there. So the opponents meet in Geneva.
The police count 7000 people. The organizers count 20000 people. Many groups join the protest. Trade unions join the protest. Some people throw stones at the police. The police use gas against the violence.
A car burns on the street. People break windows of banks. Many shops cover windows with wood. The city remembers violence in 2003. Protests caused much damage then. Thousands of police guard the city Geneva now.
The G-7 opponents want more money for workers. They want higher minimum wages for all people. They criticize the capitalism and the G-7. A manifest calls the G-7 a private club. The powerful people should not decide alone. The police find knives and weapons during checks.
