GENEVA – Up to 5,000 members of the armed forces will be deployed to protect this year's World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, the Swiss Defense Ministry announced on Monday.

During this year's meeting, set for Jan. 15-19, the military will be deployed in the Landwasser Valley in the Davos region, said the ministry.

According to the ministry, members of the armed forces will also be deployed in the rest of Switzerland for the annual event, including air sovereignty, logistics and command support.

In September 2021, the Swiss parliament approved the costs for army deployment at the WEF Annual Meetings for 2022 through 2024, coming out to 2.55 million Swiss francs (around USD2.99 million) each.

Its contribution is therefore lower than in previous years, as the WEF's private foundation is contributing more to the security costs.

According to the ministry, civilian authorities of the Swiss canton of Graubunden, where Davos is located, are responsible for the army deployment. The army is responsible for air sovereignty.

The air force is to strengthen the air police service and carry out surveillance flights. The Swiss Air Force works closely with partners from Austria and Italy to ensure airspace security, said the ministry.

Protests against the WEF are a regular occurrence in Davos. Last year, for example, more than 600 climate activists marched to Davos to take a stand for climate justice.

Also last year, climate activists briefly blocked St. Gallen-Altenrhein Airport to prevent WEF participants from arriving. (Anadolu)

Such a well loved group, the WEF, that they need a full military protection team.

Can they stop a Kinzhal?

WEF is very security obsessed. They want no intruders at their meetings.
But when it comes to the security and borders of the US, Europe etc. They are against this.

Only good thing “climate activists” ever did.

[AAABEST]

Can’t imagine what 5,000 troops + cost - but ef taxpayers and prols, these are special people.

They must be fearful of an insurrection...

Last year, for example, more than 600 climate activists marched to Davos to take a stand for climate justice.provide a backdrop of puppet magnets and make the megalomaniacs in WEF seem moderate by comparison.

There. Fixed it.

This article has my imagination creating a 007 movie script where an evil entity is going to attack the WEF meeting and kill all the leaders...the proper Bond response?

All it takes is a soldier with a gun

5,000 soldiers sounds a bit low to protect the most hated humans on the planet
