Anti-globalization and climate activists teamed up with ‘yellow vest’ protesters and Basque nationalists to protest against the G7 meeting in the southwest coastal town of Biarritz in France. More here:

BIARRITZ, France - Squabbles erupted among G7 nations on Saturday even before their leaders had gathered for an annual summit, exposing sharp differences on global trade tensions, Britain’s exit from the EU and how to respond to the fires raging in the Amazon rainforest.

“This is another G7 summit which will be a difficult test of unity and solidarity of the free world and its leaders,” he told reporters ahead of the meeting. “This may be the last moment to restore our political community.” Macron listed foreign policy issues the two would address, including Libya, Syria and North Korea, adding that they shared the objective of preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.

A police helicopter circled overhead as dozens of protesters, some wearing face masks, taunted lines of police.Adding to the unpredictable dynamic between the G7 leaders are the new realities facing Brexit-bound Britain: dwindling influence in Europe and growing dependency on the United States. “I still hope that PM Johnson will not like to go down in history as Mr No Deal,” said Tusk, who leads the political direction of the 28-nation European Union.

“If Donald Tusk doesn’t want to go down as Mr No Deal then I hope that point will be borne in mind by him too,” Johnson said on his flight to France.

C4rl1to Damn, this is crossover I did not know I needed

It's not anti-globalization and you know it Reuters. It's about corruption in neoliberal governments who have put countries in a feudal system with zero 'free market' mobility, instead there are monopolies and a 'captive market.' G7

A good day for a revolution whilst the PeroxidePlebs dine on mousse and caviar. VivaLaFrance!

This protesters are all living very confortable lives, thanks to the capitalist system they wish to destroy. Even more many of them from free hands out supplied by their governments. They wouldn’t have such a luxurious life’s in a communist country, but there you are ....

Capitalism is all about profit. Capitalism is destroying the world. We must all unite against late-stage Capitalism! ClimateStrike WorkStoppage NoMoreBusinessAsUsual

Antifa?

I'm old enough to remember when the President of the United States would speak out against such tactics used in peaceful protesters.

👀

Putin would love this.

Ummm hello CNN ... Why are you not covering these protests? 🤨

We all live on the same globe. Seems weird to be “anti”. 😂

The Spanish love their processions, there they are.

Protests accomplish nothing. The only way to evoke change is with your vote. Stand with Thompson and the war on climate change and we as one world will defeat this foe.

God Bless Us Everyone...
