Großaufgebot der Polizei bei Protesten gegen den G7‑Gipfel in Évian

During the G7 summit in Évian, a large police deployment was used to contain protests in Geneva, where "Rund 60 verschiedenen Gruppen haben in Genf gegen den G7-Gipfel in Frankreich demonstriert" (ART-49). The demonstrations were organized by a heterogeneous "No‑G7" coalition that included feminists, trade‑union representatives and Kurdish activists, and remained largely peaceful aside from isolated incidents that led police to disperse the crowd (ART-6, ART-53). The heavy police presence and the need to order a dissolution indicate that authorities prioritized security over unrestricted protest, while the visibility of the coalition suggests it succeeded in drawing public attention to its anti‑G7 stance.
