The Swiss
anti-WTO coordination has decided to expose
the myth of the peaceful spirit of Davos. Just like during the demonstration last
year we were not drawn into a dialogue with the WEF. We deny international institutions such as the WEF and
political and economic elites, who cause the death by starvation of millions of
people, any legitimacy and do not see why we should sit at a table with them. We
went to Davos in order to resist economic policies that increase the injustice
between North and South, rich and poor and especially further exacerbates the
situation of women.
