At the next World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, in January, the public meetings will be cancelled. The decision was made because there have recently been repeated death threats by conspiracy ideologues against employees of the World Economic Forum, several Swiss media report.
Since the Open Forum has access to the general public, it is more difficult to ensure security – so the panels are deleted. In addition, the already enormous security precautions are to be further strengthened.
"Death threats are the order of the day, it became uncomfortable," says WEF Director Alois Zwinggi. "We couldn't imagine that we could end up in the crosshairs of conspiracy theorists." Every day there are several dozen cases.
In "lateral thinker" circles and other conspiracy believers, a narrative around the World Economic Forum has been widespread since the beginning of the pandemic. Accordingly, the coronavirus is either not real at all or only bred so that supposedly secret societies and elites can strive for an authoritarian world government – the "New World Order". The name of the alleged new world order is closely linked to the World Economic Forum: The forum had announced the "Great Start" initiative in order to persuade the international community to cooperate more and better climate protection after the pandemic.
