GYG prostests against the G8 in Germany:International Green youth seminar in Berlin and Rostok

A delegation of GYG from Africa, Asia and Latin America has arrived in Berlin to join German and European Young Greens in a seminar about globalisation and the G8. History of the G8 and the protests against this exclusive, undemocratic Club of Rich Nations, Free Trade versus Fair Trade, Climate change, are some of the topics the participants have discussed so far. Dancing, discussing, singing: the participants are getting to know each other before they are off to join hundreds of thousands of protestors in Rostok, where the Alternative G8 Summit takes place. While our participants are preparing in Berlin, the protests in Rostok got out of hand. 80 000 peaceful protestors were celebrating with popular German bands at the final rally meanwhile the violent black block caused 430 injured police men, thus violating the rule of peaceful protests. We hope this will be the only violent incident.
