GNN International - IMF conference to be held in Vysehrad, Prague. Gata Nut News, THE place for the TruTh about Gold Gold Anchors Truth Absolutely (gata) Message 14389419 From: elmatador, Friday, September 15, 2000 Bracing for the IMF Conference The area I live -Vysehrad- is bracing for the IMF conference to be hold in Prague. I leave 100m for the Conference Center and the place is threatened to become a war zone on Sept. 25th. To here -apart from the money men- a whole lot of protester will converge to make Seattle and Washington DC look like a Sunday in the park compared with what they promised to do here. Being this a former communist country, the protester are very much determined to show that privatization, gobalization, de-regulation and capitalism is not good. The police is already preparing to keep the city open. Protesters say, the money men will not even reach the venue. That's an old city divided by a river which a few bridges to cross. Many of the streets are very narrow. The protester disdained the police efforts saying that with 80 bicycles they will bring Prague to a halt.

Protests against gasoline tax can literally shut down a country. I'm guessing protest against the IMF may be successful too. It'll be interesting to watch from a distance but must be worriesome from your point of view. And the Europeans wonder why the Euro is so weak against the greenback? Go figure. -MikeM
