The streets of Salzburg, Austria, are teeming with dissent today as thousands are marching to criticize the World Economic Forum. The WEF is an exclusive organization composed of businessmen and politicians -- a global "elite" - who are gathering in Austria to discuss plans for, among other things, European Union eastward expansion and the "migration-movement." Increasingly active protests have greeted the last several WEF meetings, such as those in Davos, Switzerland, in January.
From the Anti-WEF coalition:
"Our protest is against categorising, marginalising and excluding people and social groups; our aim is a society that is orientated to the needs of all and not to the profit of a few."
