No plans yet for possible G7 unrest in Geneva

Last year's G7 meeting

Authorities in Geneva are preparing for possible unrest ahead of the G7 summit in the nearby French town of Évian in June.

City councillors have backed a motion calling for measures to protect businesses and anticipate protests, recalling the damage caused during the 2003 G8 summit.

Municipal officials say they are concerned about a lack of communication from cantonal authorities as planning continues. Meanwhile, a large anti-G7 demonstration planned in Geneva for June 14 has not yet been formally authorized.
