Jump To Comment: 1Here's how the Poles prevent trouble at anti-globalisation protests ADVERTISEMENT POLAND'S security services deployed hundreds of police in full riot gear, water cannon were at the ready tucked away in side streets and helicopters clattered overhead. So it's probably no surprise that a march involving thousands of anti-globalisation demonstrators through central Warsaw yesterday went off peacefully. Flanked by police in riot gear, some 3,000 young leftists, accompanied by a sprinkling of radical trade unionists and laid-off miners walked down one of Warsaw's main streets, chanting anti-globalisation, anti-capitalist and anti-war slogans. The protest was arranged to coincide with the economic summit marking the reunification of Europe. Rolling slowly among the marchers was a float draped in a blood-red banner with white lettering proclaiming: "The world is for the people, not for Bush." Protesters carried placards reading "People are more important than profits." Almost 1,000 business leaders and government representatives arrived for the European Economic Forum, discussing issues of EU integration as Poland prepares to enter the European Union with nine other states on Saturday. Although black-clad, long-haired anarchists predominated, the protesters included a group of laid-off miners forced to dig coal out of illegal makeshift pits to feed their families. The crowd crawled along Warsaw's thoroughfares flanked by shops, cafes and other businesses boarded up in anticipation of the kind of rioting that has erupted at other Economic Forum sites including Seattle, Genoa and Prague. The heavy police presence was dismissed by many protesters as a typical example of politicians and the media inciting public hysteria. "They have been building up the tension for weeks and inciting public panic, but the only reason is to score political points," said a 30-year-old lawyer from the "Legal Team," a police-brutality monitoring group. "The media must have something to show on television and write about. It's all about profits." he added. "The media reported football hooligans from all over Poland were coming to start trouble, but fortunately they have not been heard of," said one policeman.
