Any news on G8 Italy?

lev | 31.05.2009 13:27 | Globalisation | World

I was wondering if some one could provide some details about the July G8 Summit and subsequent protests in Aquila, Italy? Since it has been moved to mainland Italy there is now a renewed opportunity to organize in large numbers but up until this point, at least here in the UK, I havent been able to locate any good information about the protests.All I know at this point is that it will take place from around the 8-11 July and that the Schengen rules governing free travel have already been suspended. Any news around the Summit/Protests would be much appreciated.

Italy has asked for this agreement to be temporarily suspended. It authorizes Italian border officials to refuse people (with valid id) entry into Italy.

Hi,

Just had reply from Stop The War (see below)

Hi,

Sorry you didn't get a reply earlier.
Unfortunately Stop the War Coalition will not be organising transport to the G8.
But keep an eye-out because at the end of this year it looks like there will be a defence meeting of 8 NATO countries in Edinburgh.
There is also a list of events coming up which are to be announced shortly.

Thanks, Stop the War Coalition


Guess its a "Make your own way there" Job,

Sorry its not good news :-(
