Geneva Prepares for Massive Anti-G7 Protest

Geneva braces for a massive anti-G7 protest Sunday as 50,000 demonstrators are expected to flood the streets—just across the border from France’s G7 summit in Evian. Swiss authorities are shutting down 27 border crossings Friday night and deploying 4,000 soldiers to secure the city, while France sends 8,000 police to protect the summit. Leaders will fly into Geneva before heading to France. The unrest is already hurting local businesses: shops are boarding up, one carpentry firm installed 2,000 square meters of wooden panels, and taxi drivers are skipping shifts. This cross-border crisis shows how one event can ripple into neighboring nations—and how authorities are scrambling to balance safety with economic fallout.
