(Keystone-ATS) Several hundred people responded to the call from two far-left groups in Bern, noted a journalist from Keystone-ATS. Protesters gathered in the afternoon at the station square and began a march through the city center. The police let them do it at first.
The protesters lit fireworks. There were no major incidents, but the police wrote on the X platform that material damage had been committed. She then framed the procession more closely.
-Called to disperse
After a little over an hour, the police asked the demonstrators who arrived at the entrance to the Lorraine district to disperse. They answered the call.
The WEF in Davos is a symbol of capitalism, with the climate crisis, wars, economic crises, discrimination and oppression, according to the call for the demonstration. WEF participants discuss crises of their own making, the appeal charges.
The WEF starts on Monday in Davos (GR). More than 3,000 people, including high-level politicians, business leaders and representatives of social organizations as well as the media, will discuss global challenges over five days.
