Protests

Europe

England

A group of protesters organized an occupation of the London Stock Exchange to bring attention to what they see as unethical behavior on the part of banks. One of the organizers of the protest said the protests are focused against "increasing social and economic injustice in this country". In his opinion, "Since the financial crisis the Government has made sure to maintain the status quo and let the people who caused this crisis get off scot-free, whilst conversely ensuring that the people of this country pay the price, in particular those most vulnerable."[7][8][9][10][11][12][13] A similar protest group inspired by Occupy Wall Street has formed in the UK under the name OccupyLSX.[14][15][16]

Ireland

In Ireland protests were held throughout the country, including in Dublin and Cork. What The Irish Times described as "well-humoured protest" marched on the Department of Finance in Dublin with a low-key Garda (police) presence. The nearby Merrion Hotel, where the EU-IMF troika stayed during negotiations involving the €67 billion bailout of the country's banks, was also a focus of protests.[17] Richard Boyd Barrett, TD gave a speech. Protesters sat down on the street and chanted against the EU and IMF troika. The "Occupy Dame Street" protest, set up outside the Central Bank of Ireland in solidarity with the Occupy Wall Street movement in New York, also continued throughout the day.[17]

At least 300,000 under the banner of "People of Europe: Rise Up!" gathered in the centre of Rome, according to the organizers.[18] During the peaceful march against against corporate greed and austerity measures, a small group of people broke away from the main demonstration and threw rocks, bottles and incendiary devices at banks and riot police. Riot police charged and clashes with the protesters repeatedly, firing water cannons and tear gas. At least 135 people were injured, including 105 police officers. 20 people were arrested. [19]
