the demo was peaceful and very diverse, but kind of quiet except for
the slogans a anti anticapitalismo and inter(anti)nazional

precarity and pink banner euromayday.org let's make the g8 precarious
flexi-fight vs the new world order. Caped demonstrators from berlin
hamburg barcelona copenhagen and other european cities distributed
kits to the crowds who responded truly enthusiastically. strong
presence also of attac, the whole spectrum of red sects and ecologist

quieted down but now things are in full motion.
bye for now and next dispact from the intervionist left and queer
barrios from the camp (cops are there seemingly).
pink mayday anticapitalist ciaos to new and old friends all over europe,
