Around 1,000 people began a protest in the southern German town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, against the G7 summit that is being held nearby in Elmau, Bavaria. The rally was accompanied by a massive police contingent. In total, some 18,000 police officers are deployed in the region for the summit. Sunday’s demonstration focused on the climate and fears that the Ukraine war will escalate. “We will not let them destroy our planet and our future,” a rally spokesperson said, in comments directed at the politicians meeting nearby.
