Protests

With Bush in town, there were a ton of protests in the city. The big one was held on Friday the day he arrived. Youtube has a good footage of it.

As I was walking around on Saturday, I ran into a huge protest filled with all kinds of people. The sound was so loud that I could hear from streets away. Part of the protest was about the extradition from France of Marina Petrella, partially regarding rights of undocumented workers and part for other causes, but I could not see the start of the protest so I am not sure the main reason for the protest.
