Activists staged a dramatic protest in Davos by projecting a giant image of U.S. President Donald Trump onto a ski slope alongside the slogan “Spirit of Plutocracy.” Organised by Swiss NGO Campax, the action targeted the World Economic Forum as global leaders and business executives gathered in Switzerland. The protest comes ahead of Trump’s expected meetings with business leaders at Davos, amid heightened security around the event.
01:00Trump is coming in a moment where he is destroying democracy in his own country,
01:11where he is telling everybody that he doesn't care about the international laws,
01:18about human rights, he doesn't care about anything.
01:21This person is coming here and represents very well what this forum means.
01:28It means the rich and powerful people, they can meet themselves wherever they want.
01:35It doesn't matter what they are doing at that moment.
01:38They can decide and they can implement what is especially good for them
01:44and they don't have to care or pretend to care about what's going on with all the rest of the people.
01:58Let's do it again once again.
02:00I'll do it again.
02:01This year we find it especially important to tell that here it doesn't go about values that we share or something that is going to be good for people.
02:08But that they are defending and protecting the interests of the country.
02:16It is going to be good for the countries and the people in the world.
02:21important to tell that here it doesn't go about values that we share or
02:28something that is going to be good for the countries or the people in the world
02:33but that they are defending and protecting the interest of really rich
02:39people who in the last year have become even richer than they were because of the
02:45politics that is being done from people like Trump
02:51and things coming
02:54I wanted to show that there is a resistance
03:24and there are a lot of people in the world now who are resisting these
03:30attacks to democracy because we hear so horrible news and we we see how fast it's
03:37going this backlash against democracy that a lot of people feel oh my god
03:43nothing can be done but it's not true there are really a big amount of people
03:48resisting and coordinating and don't we don't give up even though we are much
03:55much smaller
03:56like a rebel with the stick in the arm
03:59with the wirtschafts and the safety of the heights
