French Protesters Rally Outside Moody's Credit Rating Agency 
-------------------------------------------------------------



In France, demonstrators rallied outside Moody's credit rating agency in
Paris on Thursday. Protesters said the firm is contributing to the
worsening of the European economic crisis by cutting the ratings of
countries' sovereign debts.

Protester: "Today we're here to contest the fact that it's the credit
rating companies that decide the policy of European states. It's not up
to them to decide, make decisions that will hit workers, the retired,
the jobless, et cetera, et cetera, hard."
