money for this or that and here we go and it costs a lot of money to secure this private meeting of these people the agenda is secret along with everything else but bill de burgh is it believed to be deciding on who should replace their friend d s k at the top of the i.m.f. that was concentrating on how to save the euro which was leaked to show that brainchild we don't want to be we don't want to be but these are all the things that actually created is a construct of the building because the euro is a construct of the building because this is different from spanish securities much lower key first start and there's no kilometer wide cordon around the hotel but secrecy still dominates with protesters saying even this with government is attending every year though there are more and more activists and increasing media
