Philippine social movements hit G-20 summit’s exclusivity, call for a new and democratic world order
Manila, Philippines – A thousand protesters marched to the United States Embassy today to denounce the formal opening of the G-20 summit called by US President George W. Bush in Washington D.C to supposedly resolve the ongoing global financial crisis. The big demonstration, which is part of the Global Day of Action against the G-20 Summit, branded the gathering as an “elite jamboree” that has the sole objective of “resurrecting a dead and flawed development paradigm.”
