In Geneva on Sunday, several thousand people took part in a demonstration against the G7 summit in Évian, France. The protest march, accompanied by a large security presence, set off from Parc Mon Repos shortly after 3:15 p.m.

The rally was organized by the No G7 Coalition, an alliance of around 60 organizations. At the head of the march, a banner bearing the slogan “Antifascist, anti-imperialist response – No G7” was carried. Behind it, various blocs formed a line, including feminist, pro-Palestinian, revolutionary, Kurdish, and labor union groups.

The demonstration route was restricted to the right bank of the lake. The procession proceeded along the quays and via Rue des Alpes to avoid the vicinity of the Mont-Blanc Bridge. It then continued along Rue de la Servette, Avenue Giuseppe-Motta, and Place des Nations back to the starting point.

According to the conditions, the event must be dispersed by 10:30 p.m. at the latest.
