This prestigious meeting of the world economic elite, the first of > its kind in the Central and Eastern Europe, will definitely be of a great > importance.

The IMF/WB summit in Prague will be our next big opportunity to > express our demands for global justice. > The Initiative Against Economic Globalization (INPEG) is a loose coalition > of various Czech environmental, human rights and autonomist/anarchist > groups, organizations and individuals who are ready to stand up critically > against the summit of the world financial oligarchy. INPEG has been meeting > regularly in Prague since last summer. It has planned a series of campaigns > that will culminate in ten days of activities starting on September 20. > Non-violent demonstrations, info campaigns, and the Festival of Art and > Resistance includinga counter-summit will be the main resistance activities > in the mentioned period. > We will be exposing the links between the IMF/WB, the WTO and transnational > corporations and the ways how they work to maximize private profits and > limit the power of people to protect the environment, determine their > economic destiny, and safeguard their human rights.
