Switzerland-France feud erupts over G7 security costs linked to the G7 summit taking place in Evian-les-Bains. (LINK) — 15 June 2026

— France is refusing to contribute to the $25-32 million cost of securing the border and policing the protests, according to Laurent Paoliello, communications director for Geneva's security department. Several Swiss politicians have proposed withholding funds owed to France as a way of forcing Paris to pay for the security costs, including retaining tax income due to the French to compensate for lost tax income from cross-border workers. But Paoliello said such moves were "complicated" due to the fact that the exchanges of funds were enshrined in treaties. Geneva this year paid France €446 million as part of the 1973 treaty. France has not seen fit to establish designated protest sites or "counter-summits". Tens of thousands of protesters are gathering on the Swiss side of the border where they aim to stage rallies during the summit. Swiss police clashed with some 600-700 protesters on Monday, leading the protest to be forbidden after three hours. All other public rallies have been forbidden during the G7 summit. In addition to police, some 4,000 Swiss military personnel are being mobilized this week to oversee protests and staff border checkpoints.
