As the Group of Seven leaders convened in Evian-les-Bains on June 15, authorities mobilized approximately 16,000 security personnel in France and 2,000 to 5,000 military units in Switzerland to support police operations. Tens of thousands of protesters organized under the "No-G7" coalition gathered in Geneva, driven by concerns about economic inequality, imperialism, and—according to French intelligence—a marked rise in antimilitarist sentiment, particularly in response to Donald Trump's attendance.
