La Haine - 14.12.2002 12:49
International Demonstration at 11.00: "Our world is not for sale - People before profit". (Christiansborg)
12.25 - Copenhaguen: More than 10.000 people are now leaving Christianborg towards Enghave Plads. Many red and anarchist flags, as well as items against the EU are scattered along the march. The music band walking along with the Leftist Youth block is playing old soviet songs.
11.55 - Copenhaguen: The march has not left Christianborg yet, because people are still arriving and different blocks are now being put up. About 500 people make the "disobedience block", led by a placard proposing: "disobedience against neoliberalism, for people´s dignity". Next to it, the "black block" is being made up, with about 500 people in it. They carry red-black flags and a large placard claiming: "Their force is our ignorance. Against police state and EU". Several demonstrators hold long ladders at the sides of the block, in order to "protect ourselves".
11.30 - Copenhaguen: About 5000 and 10000 people have already rallied. An activist from the Group in Solidarity with the Kurdistan People reported to La Haine that "EU is supporting Turk's government genocide policy against the people of Kurdistan. We are here to show our most strong repudiation against Europe of torture and massacre disguised in democracy".
11.20 - Copenhaguen: The "disobedient block" is now starting to gather, leaded by Global Roots, flanked by trucks that will carry live theater and music during the course. Hundreds of people are still arriving in the Square.
11.05 - Copenhaguen: Thousands of people are gathering in Christianborg Square. Global Roots, anarchists, trade unions, and lots of social and political organisations take part in this demonstration. Most of the mottos carried along on placards and flags denounce EU. On the way to the Square, antiriots have been seen, though never on the very meeting point, which is now colorful and cheerful.
