The World Economic Forum (WEF) is in turmoil.

On social networks, the organization is accused of being “Nazi”.

Several publications are accompanied by the text: “Nazi alert: massive criticism on the web of the new floral logo of the WEF.

» Attached to the publications, a photograph of a logo in the background during a conference.

Some say it's just a flower.

What the most convinced answer: “But who sees a flower seriously.

By peeling the logo we clearly see a swastika.

" What is it really ?

FAKE OFF

The World Economic Forum, also known as the Davos Forum, is an international non-governmental organization that hosts meetings every year in Davos, Switzerland, between political leaders, business leaders and players in the global economy.

And it is absolutely not the logo of the latter, but the one used during a summit of the Economic Cooperation for Asia-Pacific (APEC).

And although the founder of the World Economic Forum, Klaus Schwab, participated in a summit conference, this forum was not an event organized by his organization.

Moreover, on some publications, it is clearly written “APEC CEO SUMMIT THAILAND 2022” right next to the famous logo.

This Economic Cooperation for Asia-Pacific is an intergovernmental economic forum founded in 1989 to establish a free trade area in the Asia-Pacific region.

APEC has 21 countries and explains on its website that it wants to ensure that goods, services, investments and people can move freely and easily across the borders of its members.

Some Internet users had already pointed to this logo last November, when Emmanuel Macron went to Bangkok for the 2022 edition. “Macron at the APEC summit whose emblem evokes a swastika, which does not bother him “, had commented one of them.

Obviously, if it was really a reference to the Nazi regime in this logo, APEC would have been pinned.

Any fake news to check?

As several other Internet users have indicated, the logo rather resembles a flower.

Several Thai media had at the time explained this image.

The 2022 summit "will use a logo called Dok Loy pattern, which is a pattern in the style of Thai art that reflects the timing of flowering, leaves, flowering, small difference lines," it said. .

And to add: “Dok Loy has a total of 21 components, equivalent to the number of members of the economic zone of the APEC, reflecting the important synergies.

To prepare for the new trend of changes in the world, ready to move forward towards a world that has changed to a new balance.

A much simpler and logical meaning.
