'No G7' protesters will
demonstrate against the Group of Seven summit in Taormina
Saturday afternoon, organisers of the protest march said Friday.
"There'll be 3,00-3,500 of us and shopkeepers shouldn't be
afraid, the tension has been whipped up artificially against us
to shift the media attention on the empty part of the protest
and not speak about the real issues: the power of the big
economies, militarisation, world hunger, the death of migrants,"
they told a press conference.
One of the No G7 leaders, Gianmarco Catalano, said "the black
bloc are a media invention" and are in fact "infiltrators from
other places, from those who don't want to let the voices from
below be heard".
On the march's security, he said "there is a protective
cordon but we are not policemen, we can't stop the
demonstrators."
