Thousands of protesters gather in Geneva ahead of the G7 summit set to begin in France on 15 June, with marches expanding into vandalism and clashes. According to multiple outlets, protesters initially move through the city on what is described as a largely peaceful start, with later actions targeting symbols they associate with wealth inequality, capitalism, and international governance. Reports describe a Tesla vehicle being set on fire during the demonstration. Protesters also smash windows at premises linked to multilateral institutions, including an UN office, and some accounts mention damage to other facilities such as banks. Geneva police respond with crowd-control measures, including the use of tear gas, as protesters confront law enforcement. The reporting characterizes the demonstrations as driven by anger over issues such as wealth inequality, climate policy, and global conflicts. The G7 leaders’ meeting is described as taking place across the border in France, with Geneva serving as a focal point for protest activity during the lead-up to the summit.
