In Switzerland, thousands of protesters took to the streets of Zurich Tuesday to protest against the World Economic Forum in Davos and President Trump’s planned visit. Switzerland has deployed at least 5,000 soldiers and police to Davos. It’s also imposed a no-fly zone over the area. The protests came as U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin is slated to lead the Davos summit today. Trump is slated to arrive tomorrow, becoming the first U.S. president to attend Davos in two decades. This is protester Paolo Gilardi.
Paolo Gilardi: “While the Swiss Federal Council is about to welcome and unroll the red carpet for Mr. Trump, well, we think that the people have something to say and that this policy is unacceptable, because the goal of this policy is to reduce the planet to fire and blood and to assure the powerful people’s domination over the rest of the world.”
