– (FR) Signor Presidente, signor Commissario, onorevoli colleghi, per molto tempo si è pensato che il movimento iniziato a Seattle, e poi sviluppatosi a Porto Alegre e a Firenze, fosse l’espressione di un’antiglobalizzazione inefficace di fronte alla presunta efficacia del modernismo dell’economia liberista, rappresentato dal Forum economico di Davos, dove si riunisce l’élite, in contrapposizione a Porto Alegre, punto di incontro dell’opinione pubblica popolare.
– (FR) Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, for a long time it was claimed that the movement, which began in Seattle before continuing in both Porto Alegre and Florence, was the expression of an anti-globalisation that was ineffective in the face of the allegedly effective modernism of the world liberal economy, represented by the Davos Economic Forum. Davos, where the elite were to meet, against Porto Alegre, where popular opinion would meet.
