In Bratislava 29 Greenpeace activists from Czech Republic, Croatia, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia demonstrated in support of a fairer and greener Europe, just as the leaders of 27 countries prepared to meet to discuss the future of the EU. Greenpeace called on the leaders to build a Europe based on the founding values at the core of the EU, putting the interests of people and the planet first.

The activists displayed a 6x4 metres banner on the banks of the Danube reading “Don’t trade away Europe”, while volunteers wore t-shirts that together formed the words “solidarity” and “peace”.
