to
denounce the unethical investments of Belgian banks, November 2005
In the Belgian city Ghent an
eight metre high biblical Golden Calf coated with 24-carat gold foil took the lead
in a procession of artists, the Clown Army, samba dancers and citizens.
Belgian
campaigner Mathias Bienstman said: One can see the
Golden Calf as a symbol of the idolatry of return and profit. The sculpture
will call the banks to account. Why our savings go to weapons, dictators,
sweatshops and other unethical investments?
