Radio LoRa: World Economic Forum Davos 2000

World Economic Forum 2000

From January 27th to Februar 1st, 2000 the World Economic Forum held its 30th Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland. By bringing together the most influential business, political and intellectual leaders, the Summit set the tone, atmosphere and priorities for the start of the century...

That's the limit! The Anti-WTO Coordination decided to expose the myth of the peaceful spirit of Davos. And Radio LoRa provided alternative information on the WEF, giving the Anti-WTO Coordination a voice. The demonstration on the streets of Davos was on Saturday afternoon, January 29th, 2000.
