In Ukrainian Lvov FEMEN keeps on opposing the ‘greatest corruption scheme of the century’, Euro-2012 in Ukraine. By cracking dishes, activists wanted to show the fragility of the hopes that people have.
New stadiums built in haste, are the most expensive in their class and, moreover, they are already out-of-date. FEMEN warns about consequences of such policy, which may be the collapse of the Ukrainian economy; a flow of tourists will result in a prostitution boom, increase of sex-tourism and spreading of tuberculosis and AIDS. FEMEN does not guarantee safety of the football fans, in case relevant educative work is not done.
Both activists were roughly detained by police officers and brought to the nearest police station.
A similar action took place on October, 8th at the opening ceremony of the main football stadium in Kiev, when three FEMEN activists remonstrated against Euro-2012, claiming that it would cause corruption, economical losses, prostitution, sex-tourism and so on.
In Paris, FEMEN activists attempted to sexually attack the residence of Dominique Strauss-Kahn with dusters, buckets and other cleaning substances and tools. Their slogan was: With the help of big money and power, you can avoid punishment, but you will never wash the disgrace off! FEMEN joins French feminists in their appeal for political isolation of Dominique Strauss-Kahn and thorough and unprejudiced investigation of all cases he is involved in, and believes that when justice is powerless, women have to unite to protect themselves. Strauss-Kahn, Clinton and Berlusconi are symbols of the impunity of high-ranking officials.
During the action, Strauss-Kahn called the police, which unlike at happened in Ukraine, did not cuff the activists, but let them go.

They are very good at getting media attention. How much attention would three normally dressed cranky people get ?
I love it, watch the film on FEMEN link here. The girls show up at DSK’s house, photographers were ready, of course. Then they start to clean in their little French maid outfits, (which have always been a personal preference of mine-something about a pretty girl who is scantily clad and willing to clean up after me…but I digress.
I feel the FEMEN method of protest is far superior to these “Arab Spring”. “Oakland Spring” “New York Spring”
As if Oakland ever had a spring…
Food for thought. FEMEN tactics will never bring down a government, but “Arab spring” protesters have brought down several in a short period of time by using their methods of protest. So what is so superior about FEMEN’s tactics? And in case you didn’t notice, however loony the “occupy movement” is, in the U.S. they’ve change the topic of discussion among politicians and candidates from the gibberish they were talking about. That’s a good thing, because 2 months ago all they could talk about was a lot of moralizing crap instead of whats really important to most people.
I spend much time in NYC, and I can tell you for a fact: when Wall Street is closed for a mid-week holiday, Manhattan is closed. Because of all the business on Wall Street, and all the subsidiary business related to the stock market, easily accounts for 40 per cent of daily business activity. Manhattan, is a ghost town when the stock market is closed.
Therefore, if these kids radicalize and make it too difficult for the stock market to do business, then, the stock market will move to New Jersey, and build themselves a mega building surrounded by a moat. Don’t laugh I can name two corporations that have done exactly that. 1. IBM, 2. Verizon.
The NYSE, has threatened to move several times.
I must admit I didn’t notice what the prez candidates have been saying because, I haven’t identified a single one I care for, and furthermore, if you believe this group of politicians talking actually means anything, then I humbly disagree.
I am not saying the kids are all wrong, the WSOer’s should clarify the issues they are protesting against, and maybe even protest, or endorse, something they are actually for. I disagree with the way they are living in a neighborhood that is sick of their presence, they are not entitled to the park they have occupied, and destroyed.
Police had a good day I guess. Wish I would work as a policeman such times too.
lol, Gotta love FEMEN. “Well the Ukraine girls really knock me out, They leave the West behind” … Enjoy it now girls, we all know you’ll magically turn into sweet old Ukrainian Babushkas soon enough.
To Femen with the sign: I shall be happy to entertain your fantasy.
Police men in Ukraine have such riciculous hats.
Russia’s no longer best kept secret is it’s beautiful women.
To bad they’re not Russian.
The girl with the rose wreath tattoo is starting to gain a few pounds. .
I would like to do Reverse Speech with those Femen girls and then I would know how they think.All I need is their voices.Anyone can do reverse speech,and know what others are thinking about.But it can be scary sometimes!Control your lives and know about the speech in reverse….
I guess they had to bring their own cleaning materials to Paris.
“porshe” yes they are womens :p
Protesters of all other Europe and USA should follow the example. Actions in Greece and New York would be much more successful if participants were half naked girls.
They are very nice and sexy.
