As we are so far away from Rostock some of us thought that the best way to show solidarity to our brothers fighting for a better world in the streets of Germany was to tell people of Porto (Portugal) what the G8 is all about and what are those peolple doing in the streets so that they can think a while once they get home and watch the TV reducing the protests to a bunch of violent thugs.

So - on the 2nd of June, in the morning - we set up a structure in the busiest street of the city (Sta. Catarina Street), where we explained: “When you see – on the TV – protester fighting against the police, you'll know that the protesters are fighting against this world built by the will of the rich. And you won't forget that it's that same world that the police so strongly protect”

In the pictures, you'll see
- A Mc Poster saying “2006: 700 billions dollars spent in weapons. 346 billions would be enough to end world poverty. When you see – on the TV - protester fighting against the police, think about what are the first ones fighting against and who are the second ones protecting”
- A Mc Flyer, begining with this same question and ending with the answer shown above (When you see – on the TV – protester fighting against the police, you'll know that the protesters are fighting against this world build by the will of the rich. And you won't forget that it's that same world that the police so strongly protect)
- Pictures of the actual action - The banners with the 8 guys read GREED and we added a ninth caracter, Barroso.
