Hundreds of anti-WEF in front of Davos
On two occasions, the police asked the strikers to leave the road, each time giving them a ten-minute delay, a spokeswoman for the Graubünden cantonal police told Keystone-ATS. But the demonstrators ignored the announcements. The authorities then intervened with a special mesh vehicle.
The blocking of the road caused a major traffic jam. The cars lined up downstream from Davos-Laret to the junction of the Vereina car loading station. On the other side, vehicles were blocked up to the middle of Lake Davos.
The anti-World Economic Forum protest march started on Saturday in Küblis (GR). The demonstrators intended to reach the center of Davos before 4 p.m. on Sunday.
