SUMMIT UNDER SEIGE

Posted By: Rixon

The Pan-American summit has begun in the Canadian city of Quebec, after violent clashes between police and anti-globalisation protesters delayed the official opening.

Delegates arrived at the summit venue clutching handkerchiefs to their mouths to avoid the effects of tear gas canisters fired at demonstrators.

Running battles broke out between police and protesters, who tore down a perimeter fence that had been erected to keep them away from the summit venue and hurled Molotov cocktails and stones.

At least one police officer and several demonstrators were injured. There were dozens of arrests.

The leaders remained in the hotels, delaying the start of the summit for an hour, until the police gained the upper hand.

The stand-off continued as night fell, and a BBC correspondent in Quebec says the event has become a "summit under siege".

The protesters argue that a new free trade area, one of the goals of the three-day summit of leaders of 34 countries in the Americas, will hurt the poor and damage the environment.

US President George W Bush disagreed. "Trade not only helps spread prosperity, but trade helps spread freedom," he said after arriving at the summit.

'Extremists' blamed for trouble
Opening the summit, Canada's prime minister, Jean Chretien, blamed the violence on what he called a small group of extremists.

"I welcome those who have come to Quebec City to make known their views on how best to advance the social and economic interests of our fellow citizens, but violence and provocation is unacceptable in a democracy," he said.

An all-Americas free trade zone was first proposed by then US President Bill Clinton six years ago, but negotiations have stalled over issues including environmental concerns and the protection of low-paid workers.

President Bush has launched a charm offensive to try and persuade his fellow heads of government of the advantages of free trade.

He told reporters that his goal was to create an "entire hemisphere that is both prosperous and free".

Mr Bush faces the most resistance from Brazil, the largest economy in South America, which would like to see US concessions on agricultural subsidies.

The role of Mexico is also in doubt. Currently the only Latin American country to enjoy unrestricted access to US markets, it is reluctant to give up that privilege.

The FTAA would encompass nearly all the countries of the Americas with a combined population of 800 million who produce goods and services totalling $11.4 trillion - bigger than the European Union.

The plan, if approved by 2005, would eliminate - or lower substantially - tariffs on goods moving between countries. It would also streamline customs regulations, eliminate quotas and subsidies, and remove other impediments to trade.

(And how would the summit's organisers discredit the demonstrations and gain backing from ordinary, 'patriotic' Americans? Simple call in Fidel Castro and wait for a knee jerk reaction from patriots as they turn against the protestors. Rixon)

Castro backs protesters
The major demonstration planned for the summit is a march on Saturday, with organisers expecting thousands from Canada, the Latin America and the United States to take part.

Protests are also planned far from Quebec City, with marches or blockades threatened in other Canadian and US cities. Cyberprotests could also occur.

The Cuban President, Fidel Castro - the only Latin American leader excluded from the summit in Quebec - has expressed his solidarity with the protesters.

The Communist leader, who was not invited to the meeting because the organisers say that Cuba is not a democratic regime, called their actions of the protesters heroic. bbc.com 21 April 2001

(To reinforce that perception: do as the BBC did and throw in a few pictures of protesters dressed as below. Rixon)
