"I arrived there about half past twelve. By the time I got there, the police were already blocking off the pathway to the center where the demonstrations were taking place facing the bank of England, so the first pictures I took were the scenes of the police blocking the entrance.Then I went to the other side, where vehicles had stopped and everything was getting crowded. Most of the pictures were from down the street.

The atmosphere was quite carnival like at first there were a lot of drums, a lot of music, people in quite good spirits, a big police presence as well. As time went on, it started to get a bit more rowdy. Things were starting to get stirred a little bit, nothing too much. Some people climbed up the walls, and climbed up bus stops. Eventually the police started to pushing us further and further back to the Threadneedle Street as people were getting more rowdy. Towards the end, standing in front of me there was a police line and a little bit of skirmish, and people were saying that someone’s head was bleeding, I couldn’t see directly. I would say there definitely were some skirmishes going on at the end, but I didn’t see anything violent.

There seem to be a few different placards from where I could see. So there were the transsexual pictures, there were anti-capitalist demonstrations; there was a placard against the war in Iraq. There was one against Harper, over the anarchist’s flag. There was a protest against bankers and then there were a lot of climate change posters as well. So it was a bit of a mix", our Citizenside contributor said.]]> http://www.citizenside.com/en/photos/politic/2009-03-28/14837/france-anticapitalist-militants-organise-a-monthly-picnic-in-a-super-market.html 2009-03-28T20:31:11+02:00 Around twenty "Appel de la pioche" anticapitalist association militants organized a monthly picnic in a supermarket in Clichy-la-Garenne, a town in Paris suburbs, to protest against the "standart of living getting lower and unfair richness distribution in the global crisis times", March 29th.

"I received early in the morning an sms with the exact hour and location of the event, our Citizenside member witnessed.

Sunday, 1 p.m., an ordinnary day in the Clichy Leclerc supermarket : clients, children, carriages...

Suddenly, a man armed with a carrot starts to cry : "They steal our buying capacity. Come and eat their food for free !"

A little table in the middle of the hall is served with sushis, chips, candies...

Lots of journalists are here.

Gardiens observe without interacting.

Ten minutes later, organisators hurry to leave the place. "Police is arriving ! Let's go out of here"

And they disappear in the crowd, leaving the supermarket clients eat the abandonned food"]]> http://www.citizenside.com/en/photos/politic/2008-02-28/14050/a-serbian-enclave-in-kosovo-the-day-of-kosovo-independance-declaration.html 2009-03-09T16:44:25+02:00 In February 2008, Kosovo's parliament unanimously endorsed a declaration of independence from Serbia.
