PRAGUE, Aug 2 (AFP) - Anti-globalization activists staged a symbolic protest
Wednesday against the annual meeting of the International Monetary Fund and
World Bank scheduled in Prague next month.
A football match on the Old Town Square in the heart of the Czech capital
pitted three "global" players -- dressed up as McDonalds, Shell and Phillip
Morris -- against a worker, a farmer and a woman. With the help of a
referee representing the IMF and World Bank, the three global giants easily
won. The protest was the first in a series planned by the Initiative
Against Economomic Globalization (INPEG) in the run-up to the September
21-29 meetings in the Czech capitals.
Some 15-20,000 demonstrators are expected to descend on the Czech capital
for the IMF/World Bank meetings. Some 11,000 police equipped with riot gear
are to be deployed in September to protect the thousands of ministers, bank
chiefs and top officials from dozens of countries attending the Prague
meeting.
The campaign, entitled "Fifty-five years of oppression by the International
Monetary Fund and the World Bank is enough," will organize protests every 10
days or so, said spokeswoman Alice Dvorska. She said the symbolic football
match reflects the way financial institutions "favor profits for
multinationals to the detriment of people and the environment."
A number of foreign activists are already in Prague coordinating protest
action, according to organizers.
