Some 300 people including two millionaires protested in Davos Sunday ahead of next week's gathering of the global elite at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in the Swiss Alps. Demonstrators carried placards with slogans such as 'Tax the rich', 'Shut up! Pay taxes' and 'Smash colonial capitalism'.
Some 300 people including two millionaires protested in Davos Sunday ahead of next week's gathering of the global elite at the World Economic Forum in the Swiss Alps.
Among those attending the protest was Austrian-German heiress Marlene Engelhorn, who gave away the bulk of her multi-million-euro inheritance to dozens of organisations working on social issues."Because just because we are born millionaires, or because we got lucky once -- and call that self-made -- we now get to influence politicians worldwide with our political preferences," she added.
Many observers have expressed concern about the so-called"broligarchy" surrounding US President-elect Donald Trump, which includes billionaire Elon Musk. With the blockade causing a major traffic jam, the authorities deployed a specialised vehicle to clear the highway ahead of the WEF's Monday start.
