French protestors call for HSBC nationalization
‘Activists in France have staged a protest rally against the British bank, HSBC, for its illegal banking practices, Press TV reports.
On Thursday, members of the French Communist party gathered on the Champs-Elysées avenue in the capital city of Paris to demand the nationalization of the bank.
The protesters staged a mock arrest of the HSBC Chief Executive Stuart Gulliver as anger toward high finance continues to mount in austerity-racked France.
“There is an investigation against HSBC, but what about the other banks which all do the same? We need to see banks save the people instead of hiding the colossal fortune of the rich,” a protestor told Press TV.’
