2017 / ISSUE 101 5 NEWS With presidents such as Trump and Putin fuelling anger within the people throughout the year, frustrations have boiled over, bringing huge numbers out to protest in the German city. President Trump's attitudes to issues such as climate change and he's pulling out of the Paris Agreement has sparked national outrage. But it is not simply controversially viewed leaders that are causing angst; there is great opposition towards the bigger picture of global politics. For some, simply the concept of the G20 is reason enough to fight for change. It seems extremely unjust to have a select few huge world leaders make crucial decisions on the behalf of millions, that they are often extremely out of touch with. Stories about protesting at G20 have not been widely broadcasted, and the articles that do attempt to represent events show unpleasant imagery, including fires, signifying that all the protests were violent riots. It seems the media is not willing to give any publicity to the 100,000 peaceful protesters and what they achieved by coming out and marching with their signs or jumping into rivers. The focus on violence represents all protestors, in the same way, ignoring individual circumstances and pushing a false conception of protests as violent, something to avoid, and worst, something to be fearful of. Only a tiny proportion of people were violent while protesting G20. The peaceful protesters may be difficult to find in the big media, but not here at Guestlist.
