Why do people march against the G8 summit?

Question

I'm under the impression that they're doing good for the world in general or am I missing it - is it because globalisation is negative or something like that? inform me if you will, thanks

Answer 1

Some people believe it is an organization that takes advantage of 3rd World Coutries--i.e., the poorest of the poor. In reality, the G8 provides funding, aid and economic development to these countries. In short, there is a radical anarchist movement globally that resists the rule of law and has convinced itself that wealth is bad.

Answer 2

Two things.

(a) G8 countries of course are the 8 most wealthiest countries in the world. By saying that, they usually do things that benefit themselves then anything else. Care more about financial gain, then human and/or environmental rights. It takes a crisis, like the crisis in the mideast, to draw the attention of the G8.

(b) Most of the time, people there arent protesting against the G8 in particular. A lot of them are protesting against Bush, and his administration. As you may well know, Bush doesnt have the fondest reputation outside of the United States.

Answer 3

Because, this reunion, is about planning the future of our respectives nations...The reunion lead to a document, that contain, those informations. The point of marching against the G8, is about to get thoses informatuon before they are modified...
People marching too because they want G8 to erase the debt of poor countries, that just make them dependant, and slaves...And we make money with them....
They walk for Humans rights,
This is not a march...This is a fight against the power's-holders
The New World Order
You still have a lot to learn...Those link may help, but you have make your investigations, to reallky understand what is going on...

Answer 4

G8 are the rich countries. The rest of the world(especially Africa) is really poor.

People thought that Globalization would distribute wealth in a better manner. It did have a limited success. So I guess people felt cheated.

Answer 5

People will march against anything it seems..

Probably there would even be some anti cat marchers if someone marched for support of kittens.
