A demonstration is under way – the first of the COP15 Climate Summit, with a start-up group of some 100 demonstrators under a ‘Don’t buy the lie’ slogan.

The following list of 15 companies and organisations has been handed out to demonstrators as targets for the demonstration.

DI (confederation of Danish industries)
Hopenhagen

Danish Energy Association
McDonalds
Dan Forestry

According to flyers handed out, demonstrators plan to move towards headquarters of the companies and organisations concerned and ’cause chaos’.

“The plan is to go where there is no police nad arrive first to wreak as much havoc as possible,” the programme says.
