Swiss television RSR showed a sign that read “Who was the Shithole?”, in reference to reported remarks by Trump about Haiti and African countries, which he has denied. Similar protests took place, with several hundred protesters each, in public squares in Geneva, Lausanne and Fribourg. Earlier this month, demonstrators also protested against Trump’s visit in the Swiss capital of Bern. That march went off peacefully, unlike violent anti-WEF protests in several Swiss citities in the early 2000s. More than 4,000 Swiss soldiers have deployed to guard Davos alongside 1,000 police, while a no-fly zone was put in place to protect delegates.
