The crowd denounced neoliberalism, corporate globalization and the institutions that represent them, the WTO, IMF and World Bank. Thursday, October 19 9:55 PM SGT Thousands of protestors slam Asia-Europe summit SEOUL, Oct 19 (AFP) - Thousands of protestors staged a boisterous anti-globalization rally Thursday as Asian and European leaders gathered in Seoul for a cross-continent summit. ""No globalization,"" chanted some 4,000 students, labor leaders and civil rights activists at Soongsil University campus in southern Seoul on the eve of the third Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM). The evening rally drew some 100 foreign activists taking part in a forum of nongovernment organizations (NGOs) held to coincide with the summit on Friday and Saturday. Tens of thousands of police, backed by helicopters and armoured riot vehicles, have been deployed throughout Seoul to stop protests. But no violence was reported. The protestors punched the air, surrounding a podium decorated with a banner reading ""We Oppose Neo-liberalization and Globalization!"" and a large picture depicting an angry slogan-chanting worker. Students and union activists held up placards blasting ASEM for promoting a US-led globalization movement and vowed to lead a protest march on Friday, which will be kept several kilometers from the ASEM convention center. The march will be headed by the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU), a militant union group which has opposed sweeping economic reforms since an economic crisis forced South Korea to accept a 58-billion-dollar bailout from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in late 1997. The protestors blasted the lending policies of international institutions such as the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the IMF for increasing the suffering of poor nations by imposing harsh repayment obligations. ""Globalization is a main cause of worsening labor conditions."" read a statement distributed at the rally. ""Disband the international organizations soliciting neo-liberalism. Stop negotiations about free trade measures and block the WTO New Round."" South Korean pressure groups have pledged there will be no repeat of the violence that dogged the WTO conference last year in Seattle, and the World Bank/IMF meetings in Prague last month. But organizers of ASEM, South Korea's biggest international event since the 1988 Olympics, are desperate to avoid violent clashes with protestors and are taking no chances with security. From Thursday, riot police sealed off all public access to within two kilometers (1.2 miles) of the sprawling ASEM site. A South Korean photograher reported seeing around 20 local student activists detained by police after trying to break through police lines. However police denied any arrests had been made.",,,,,,,Koreans Protest Rocks Globalization Summit!,,,https://hdl.handle.net/10796/1063EE23-4B7C-4E47-B5E0-A6DC33BB3C64?locatt=view:level2,,,,,,,"Koreans Protest Rocks Globalization Summit!,pers en media",,,,,https://hdl.handle.net/10796/81D028C1-C897-4F0D-BE70-BE920FE827CB,,,,,,,,19 10 2000,https://hdl.handle.net/10796/1063EE23-4B7C-4E47-B5E0-A6DC33BB3C64?locatt=view:level3,,,webpagina,Artikels,leeg,pers en media,,,,,Tijdschriften_400050332,Indymedia.be,,,,,,,Koreans Protest Rocks Globalization Summit!,Koreans Protest Rocks Globalization Summit!,,,,Koreans Protest Rocks Globalization Summit!,,,,,Artikels_200023219 Artikels Koreans Protest Rocks Globalization Summit!
