6 February, 2003The IMF's general secretary will join the many trade union activists who will take to the streets of Europe next week.

GENEVA: The world over, public opinion against a war in Iraq is growing. Those attending the recent World Social Forum in Porto Alegre unanimously expressed an anti-war view. Amongst other regions, across Europe trade unions and other NGOs will be marching against the imminent war on February 15. The IMF general secretary, Marcello Malentacchi, commented in his just-published opinion column that such rejection must send a "strong signal to the USA that world security must be governed by the United Nations, and not unilaterally by a 'superpower'."
