SMASH SEOUL, SMASH THE G20!
PROTEST/ACTION 2 – 6 pm FRIDAY 12th NOVEMBER, SOUTH KOREAN EMBASSY, LONDON.
ANTI-G20 SOLIDARITY. CAPITAL KNOWS NO BORDERS, SO WHY SHOULD WE?



On 11-12 November 2010, the G20 are holding a summit in Seoul, south Korea, which was called the ‘tear gas republic’ in the early 1980-s. Choices made there will affect us all. A call for global action against the G20 has been made by the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU) and many other labour organisations and civic groups. The G20 was originally formed to respond to the global financial crisis and is attempting to set itself up as the authority responsible for directing the world economy and defining world governance. While excluding most nations from decision-making, the G20 is attempting to make the world ‘safe’ for neo-liberal capitalism by forcing emerging economies to shoulder part of the burden of the crisis, promoting trade and investment liberalization dressed up in ‘new robes’, negotiating weak financial reforms that largely allow financial speculation to on unchecked and reviving the ailing IMF and other IFI-s. This agenda is is being pursued despite the fact that neo-liberal capitalism is clearly a failed model, which only increases poverty and equality around the globe.

As if this was not enough, the Lee Myeong Bak (presidentof south Korea) administration is using the G20 Summit in Seoul as an excuse to strengthen repression of common people and social movements in south Korea. The government agencies of south Korea have been conducting crackdowns on undocumented migrants, during which migrants are brutally arrested, imprisoned and then deported. Police having been carrying out illegal and racist stop and search procedures on whoever they thing look ‘suspicious’. The government at the same time has been carrying out devastating attacks on south Korean workers and labour unions. To fight this attack, a call was made by the KCTU and other movements of south Korea for international support. It is for this reason we are standing on solidarity with south Korean workers, prisoners and G20 protestors in condemning the government of south Korea and the police for their brutal crackdown and attacks on the people.

EVERYONE COME ALONG, ALL GROUPS, PARTIES ,MOVEMENT S, STUDENTS AND ALL INDIVIDUALS WELCOME. BRING BANNERS, PLACARDS, NOISE AND SOUNDS SYSTEMS. SMASH SEOUL! SMASH THE G-20!
