G7 Cornwall: the symbolic place for the contradictions the summit faces

LONDON. They call it the “Cornish Riviera”, a nickname that alludes to posh continental destinations, to evoke the British equivalent of the Cote d’Azur: the most beautiful, picturesque and exclusive corner of the United Kingdom. Boris Johnson did not by chance choose Cornwall as the site of this weekend’s G7 summit: bays fringed by cobalt blue water, white sand beaches, cliffs overlooking the sea, interspersed with fishing villages whose delightful cottages. over time they have become Airbnb for elite holidays, luxury hotels, gourmet restaurants.
