[EN] Frankfurt in flames as protests mount against ECB Early morning clashes broke out in Frankfurt on Wednesday between police and ‘Blockupy’ protesters, as the ECB (European Central Bank) opens its €1.3 billion ($1.4 billion) headquarters in the city. Police fired teargas in an attempt to disperse the crowd, who set a police car on fire. ‘Blockupy’ Protests Break Out in Frankfurt as ECB Opens New Building While most parts of Frankfurt remained peaceful, a policeman on patrol said some police cars had been set on fire and some protesters burned tires. Police used water cannon on some protesters. By Natalia Drozdiak Updated March 18, 2015 6:44 a.m. ET FRANKFURT—Scattered incidents of violence broke out Wednesday across Germany’s financial capital alongside demonstrations against austerity timed to the inauguration of the European Central Bank’s new headquarters. While most parts of Frankfurt remained peaceful, a policeman on patrol said some police cars had been set on fire and some protesters burned tires. Police used water cannon on some protesters. ECB President Mario Draghi defended the bank’s policies at the inauguration ceremony, warning that moving toward more isolation and nationalization wouldn’t solve Europe’s problems. “European unity is being strained. People are going through very difficult times,” Mr. Draghi said in prepared remarks at the inauguration. “As an EU institution that has played a central role throughout the crisis, the ECB has become a focal point for those frustrated with this situation,” Mr. Draghi noted. “This may not be a fair charge—our action has been aimed precisely at cushioning the shocks suffered by the economy.” ‘European unity is being strained. People are going through very difficult times.’ —ECB President Mario Draghi Still, given that the ECB covers all of the 19-member eurozone, “We must listen very carefully to what all our citizens are saying,” he said. “Blockupy” activists have announced plans to gather around the ECB’s new building—which cost more than €1 billion ($1.06 billion) to build, up from an earlier estimate of €850 million—to obstruct streets with sit-ins and blockades. The activists, joined by representatives from leftist political parties including Greece’s Syriza, Spain’s Podemos and Germany’s Die Linke, say the ECB is partly responsible for enforcing policies that activists say are impoverishing parts of Europe. Last week, the ECB launched a €60 billion monthly bond-purchase program, mostly centered on public debt, aimed at supporting the bloc’s economy and moving inflation toward the bank’s target of just below 2%. ECB officials, including Mr. Draghi, have in recent days credited the ECB’s stimulus moves with helping the eurozone economy turn the corner. The bank’s new headquarters on the banks of Germany’s Main river “reminds us of where we have come from and where we have come to. Of the horrors that can happen when we split apart, and the huge steps forward we can make when we work together,” Mr. Draghi said. “So let us not undo what has been achieved. Let us not hanker for the past,” Mr. Draghi said. —Brian Blackstone contributed to this article. Última edição por 5ms; 18-03-2015 às 10:20. Protesters, police clash near new European bank HQ in Frankfurt Nearly 90 police were injured by stones and unidentified liquids hurled by a violent minority from within the thousands-strong protest, police said. Seven police cars were set on fire, streets were blocked by burning stacks of tyres and rubbish bins, and shops were damaged in the city center. [Reportagens de outros veiculos falam em apenas 400-500 "manifestantes"] By John O'Donnell and Frank Siebelt FRANKFURT Wed Mar 18, 2015 7:36am EDT (Reuters) - Anti-capitalist protesters clashed with riot police near the new headquarters of the European Central Bank (ECB) in Frankfurt on Wednesday and set fire to barricades and cars, casting a pall over the ceremonial opening of the billion-euro skyscraper. Nearly 90 police were injured by stones and unidentified liquids hurled by a violent minority from within the thousands-strong protest, police said. Some protesters said they were injured when police used pepper spray. Seven police cars were set on fire, streets were blocked by burning stacks of tyres and rubbish bins, and shops were damaged in the city center. Dark smoke billowed in front of the ECB towers and across central Frankfurt. Police used water cannon to try to make a path through the mass of black-clad protesters to the entrance of the building, blocked off from the street by police barricades. Five people were detained and others taken into custody for questioning. ECB President Mario Draghi addressed the demonstrators in his speech at the opening ceremony but said they were missing the point by blaming the ECB. "European unity is being strained," he said, according to an advance text. "People are going through very difficult times. There are some, like many of the protesters outside today, who believe the problem is that Europe is doing too little. "But the euro area is not a political union of the sort where some countries permanently pay for others. It has always been understood that countries have to be able to stand on their own two feet – that each is responsible for its own policies. The fact that some had to go through a difficult period of adjustment was therefore not a choice that was imposed on them. It was a consequence of their past decisions." The protest organizers, a group called Blockupy - named after the Occupy Wall Street movement in 2011 - estimated that about 10,000 demonstrators were at the rally. Thousands came into the German financial capital from other parts of Europe. "Our protest is against the ECB, as a member of the troika, that, despite the fact that it is not democratically elected, hinders the work of the Greek government. We want the austerity politics to end," Ulrich Wilken, one of the organizers, said. "We want a loud but peaceful protest," he told Reuters. Blockupy says it represents grass-roots critics of supranational financial institutions including the "troika": the ECB, the European Commission and the International Monetary Fund, whose inspectors monitor countries such as Greece and Cyprus that have received international bailouts. The ECB is also influential as a provider of finance to the banks of struggling countries and has in recent weeks sanctioned a drip feed of extra emergency finance to Greece's lenders. Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis last week criticized ECB policy towards Athens as "asphyxiating", a criticism also made by the protest organizers.

Foto: HIna NA ULICAMA Frankfurta policija se sukobila s prosvjednicima protiv mjera štednje. Liječničku pomoć zatražilo je stotinjak prosvjednika, većinom zbog nadraženosti dišnih puteva, s obzirom da je policija koristila suzavac. Barem 94 policajca ozlijeđena su nakon što su prosvjednici policiju zasuli kamenjem. Zapaljeno je desetak policijskih automobila. Više stotina ljudi je privedeno. Prosvjednici su izašli na ulice zbog otvaranja nove zgrade Europske središnje banke. Tijek prosvjeda: 15:08 Deutsche Welle objavio je da je uhićeno najmanje 350 osoba. Na ulice je izašlo između sedam i deset tisuća prosvjednika. 14:40 Nedaleko od nove zgrade ECB-a došlo je do velikog sukoba policije i prosvjednika. Prosvjednici su palili automobile i policijske barikade. Policajce su gađali kamenjem, a na njih su bacali i boce s nepoznatom tekućinom. Ozlijeđeno je oko 90 policajaca, a kod ECB-a zapaljeno je još sedam policijskih vozila. 13:20 Policija u obračunu s prosvjednicima koristi suzavac i vodene topove. Prosvjednici odgovaraju bacanjem kamenja na policajce. 13:05 Iako su europski mediji preplavljeni fotografija nasilnih obračuna na ulicama Frankfurta, iz policije tvrde da većina prosvjednika ne sudjeluje u sukobima. Kažu da se radi samo o manjim incidentima, ali na ulicama je svejedno nekoliko tisuća interventnih policajaca. 12:45 "Mirna kritika kapitalizmu DA, nasilju NE", apel je upućen demonstrantima iz gradske uprave i policije. 12:40 Frankfurtska policija putem tvitova obavještava javnost o stanju u gradu: "Atmosfera je ok" 12:10 Njemački mediji javljaju kako ima više stotina uhićenih. 11:26 Situacija se malo primirila. Kod ECB-a nema nikakvih sukoba, zasad, piše Bild 11:20 Jedan od šefova Deutsche Banke izjavio je kako prosvjed u Frankfurtu treba shvatiti kao kritiku kapitalizma. "Za mene je sloboda izražavanja jedan od stupova demokracije i iz tog razloga razumijem prosvjednike. Nezaposlenost je vrlo visoka, i jasno je da su ljudi nezadovoljni s tim što se događa. Čak i da prihvate da je Europska središnja banka učinila mnogo da poboljša situaciju. ECB je stabilizirala Europu, u to nema sumnje. A zašto se događaju nasilni prosvjedi protiv ECB-a, na to će morati odgovoriti prosvjednici", rekao je Anshu Jan za DPA. 11:05 Policija je izvijestila kako je dosad ozlijeđeno 88 policajaca. Blockupy također javljaju kako ima puno ozlijeđenih i među prosvjednicima. 10:50 "Naš prosvjed je protiv ECB-a, člana trojke, koji unatoč tome što nije demokratski izabran otežava rad grčke vlade. Mi želimo da se okonča politika oštrih mjera štednje", rekao je jedan od organizatora prosvjeda Ulrich Wilken. "Mi želimo glasan, ali miran prosvjed", kazao je on za Reuters. 10:45 Mario Draghi trebao bi u 11 sati održati govor u novoj zgradi Europske središnje banke. 10:40 Glasnogovornica frankfurtske policije Claudia Rogalski rekla je da je raspoloženje prosvjednika "agresivno". "Imali smo bacanje kamenja, paljenje kanti za smeće, a oštećeno je i sedam policijskih automobila, od kojih je većina zapaljena", kazala je. 10:25 "Blockupy je kriv za uništenje", izvijestila je policija. 10:05 Njemački mediji javljaju kako ima najmanje 20 uhićenih 10:00 Gradska vlast razmišlja o tome da zabrani ulazak vlaka i autobusa s prosvjednicima u grad! Organizatori pozivaju prosvjednike da se smire. FAZ javlja kako su prosvjednici napali čak i vatrogasce koji su htjeli igasiti požar. 9:50 Reporterka FAZ-a javlja da se aktivisti penju po neboderima 9:29 "Sada govorimo o ozbiljnim zločinima. Demonstracije su otišle u krivom smjeru.", rekli su iz policije. Glasnogovornik Blockupya kaže da nisu planirali ovo što se događa, ali "da se mora shvatiti očito, a to je da policija provocira. 9:00 Organiziran je poseban vlak iz Berlina koji će dovesti prosvjednike, a najavljeno je i 60 autobusa iz više europskih zemalja! 8:30 Prosvjednici su već rano jutros blokirali glavni most preko rijeke Majne kao i kružni tok kraj zgrade Vijeća. Diljem grada zapaljene su kante za smeće, gume, helikopter nadlijeće grad, a policija prosvjednike rastjeruje suzavcem. 7:50 "Vidjeli smo sukobe u ranojutarnjim satima između policije i prosvjednika. Ispred mene zapaljen je policijski auto. Korišten je suzavac kako bi se otjeralo prosvjednike", kazao je RT-ov Peter Oliver. 7:30 Policija je na ulice poslala interventnu policiju, a ograđena je iz zgrada Europske središnje banke. Njemačka DPA agencija donosi izjavu glasnogovornika policije koji je kazao kako je najmanje jedan policajac ozlijeđen kada su prosvjednici počeli bacati kamenje na njih. Prosvjed organizira savez Blockupy, a razlog prosvjeda je kriza u Europi za koju krive Europsku središnju banku, Europsku uniju i Međunarodni monetarni fond. Jedan je policijski službenik za AFP kazao kako se boji da bi prosvjed mogao eruptirati u veći sukob.
