Germany is a short train ride away for 300 million EU citizens. Borders are open. Occupy in the name of the 99%. Stop austerity NOW.
Go in peace. Obey all laws. Support the German Labor Unions. Do not leave until the Neoliberals are thrown out.
Big blockupy protest against ECB on the occasion of the inauguration of their new fancy office tower in Frankfurt today. A special train with 1000 protesters came last night from Berlin, dozens of buses from all over Europe. The promise of peaceful protest was broken by some radicals already early this morning, with burning police cars, a police station attacked, a lot of broken windows e.g. of retail stores, and dozens of hurt policemen.
Some radical sub-groups are said to be from Italy. ECB building was completely sealed off for the ceremony, and the bank’s employees were told to stay home. A very large protest march (“Stop Austerity!!”) by the German unions, was about to begin now, they had to find a different route because the Frankfurt center was partly shut down.
