Genoa was a revolt. The 25 accused people stay for the 300.000 who have been on the streets of Genoa. Despite all the differences there was a common goal: the deligitimisation of the G8 and the red zone.

For November 17th many of the groups who mobilised to Genoa at that time have called for a joint and powerful solidarity demonstration in Genoa. Meanwhile members of the Alleanza Nazionale and the right wing Police Union demand to ban the demonstration. The Police itself wants to protest under the slogan: "Luting to defend arguments, black block, no global". One of their unions has announced "sit-ins" on all public squares.
