On June 20 and 21, 2006, the European Union and the United States are conducting a summit in Vienna, Austria. George Bush is occupying the city center - large urban areas are barred. Some subway stations, parks, squares and 300 shops are closed tomorrow. Mr. Bush isn't welcome in Vienna, however, he will not notice any protest - demonstrators are simply locked out: a common practice since Genoa. See the barriers on google earth.

same applies to Budapest tomorrow and the day after: an unprecedented scale of totally inaccessible urban space. the entire downtown will be closed down, even metro lines will not be running as they pass under. hotels to be occupied by the staff were also emptied and the airport will be sealed off for three hours, too. i guess even the commies would have stuff to learn here :)
EU conferences have closed Rome at least once...
