Demonstrators against the G20 summit had their first march in last Saturday with an estimated 35,000 people to demand economic and environmental reforms. This week’s summit is the first major summit in London since a G7 gathering in 1991.

The organisers of the protests are environmental campaigners, anti-capitalist and religious groups. According to an activist, “greedy corporate leaders were responsible for the economic crisis and and they were still trying to fill their own pockets despite the biggest economic collapse in decades.” Up to now, the crisis has pushed millions of worker into unemployment and hundreds million into poverty.
