Thousand of people gathered around the world on Saturday to protest for the same reason as the recent Occupy Wall Street protests. There were protests in over 900 cities through out Europe, Africa, Asia, and the United States. Protesters are said to be fighting for a "true democracy". Protests in Rome became very violent. Protest began after the financial meeting in Paris between 20 nations. Police blocked protesters in London from demonstrating in front of the London Stock Exchange forcing them to move outside of St. Paul's Catherdral. There were said to be over 70 arrests in Manhatten throughout the day on Saturday.
