Going to Andorra on the 9th of June?  Be prepared for some fun and games 
on the border.

According to a newspaper report, a pressure group calling itself 
"l'Association pour la Taxation des Transactions financières et l'Aide 
au Citoyen" (Association for taxation of financial transactions and aid 
to citizens) is planning a demonstration at Pas de la Casa "to denounce 
an international financial system which relies on lawless zones".  The 
intention is to block the border crossing with "a wall of money and 
bricks" and stage theatrical productions evoking the "incapacity of 
judges to stop money laundering".

A demonstration is also planned on the same date in Jersey and one in 
Paris "against sackings for financial convenience".  I can't help 
wondering why nothing is apparently planned for Monaco which is not very 
co-operative with attempts to control money laundering while Andorra is 
relatively clean in this respect.
