9000 People Protest Against G7 in France

Approximately 9000 people participated today in a protest against the G7 summit that is set to kick off in France, according to BFMTV. The march began in the municipality of Andai around noon.

Sources report that the demonstration proceeded in a calm atmosphere, with participation from environmentalists, anti-globalists, and several dozen members of the 'yellow vests' movement.

As previously reported by Tert.am, the G7 summit known as the 'Great Seven' is commencing today in the city of Biarritz, located in southwestern France. According to the summit's agenda, French President Emmanuel Macron will greet and accompany the leaders of the G7 countries on Saturday evening. Following the welcoming, the leaders will gather for an informal dinner.

The leaders are expected to pay special attention to the issue of Ukraine, as well as the situations in Iran, Syria, Libya, and the broader Middle East.

France, which currently holds the presidency of the G7, considers the fight against inequality a key priority. To this end, leaders from eight partner countries, including Australia, Chile, Burkina Faso, Senegal, Rwanda, and the African Union have also been invited to the summit.

The G7 consists of France, the USA, the UK, Germany, Japan, Canada, and Italy.
