It raises the tension in the third last day of the world climate summit in Copenhagen, with the anti-globalization movements and environmentalists who tried to march to the Bella Center, which is in progress during the summit. An attempt to "invasion" of the "red zone" that has been caused the reaction of the Danish police, accused by several parties to perform their task with zeal, even excessive. Result: truncheons at will, a great deal of tear gas and arrested more than 250 people, including many Italians.

The tension is palpable as well as outside also inside the convention center, where the Danish prime minister, Lars Rasmussen Løkke, replaced the chairmanship of Connie Hedegaard, Danish policy designated as a commissioner to the climate in the new EU executive led by Jose Manuel Barroso. A changing of the guard under the outset, stressed the organizers, but has reignited the spotlight on the difficulties encountered and that negotiations on Hedegaard criticism came from African countries who accuse her of wanting to encourage rich countries to date .

Criticisms that are added to the protests in Brazil and India for the organized chaos and particularly poor access management at the top, aided by the proliferation of queues with the arrival of heads of state and government in the Danish capital for a conference in which the UN has initially credited with 46 thousand people, despite the Bella Center can not hold more than 15 thousand at once.

Yet beyond the organizational problems and the clash between Systems ", the negotiations under way in Denmark takes every day from the appearance of yet another endless round of a game in progress between the United States and Europe on one hand and the main emerging countries, starting with China, India, Brazil and Russia, on the other. A game that will mark the gradual shift of world economic center of gravity from the United States to Asia, with Europe seeking to find their room for maneuver.
