PACKED: The floor was packed during the Norway Social Forum meeting on the Financial Crises. Lots of people were standing by the walls or sitting on the floor.
This weekends Norway Social Forum (Globaliseringskonferansen) was the largest NSF ever, with 1900 participants. The meeting about the financial crisis on saturday was very popular and there were way to few seats for everybody, even in such a large hall. The speakers were Yosh Tandon, (South Centre, Geneva) Riaz Tayob (Third World Network), Helene Bank (Attac and For Velferdsstaten) and Kristen Nordhaug (Attac).
For all those who could not be there (and those who want to hear it again), we can now give you videos from the two international speakers.
