December, 2008 Protest the 21st decemebr 2008 in Iceland - video Today there was a silent protest in front of the parliement building . And they say that next saturday - it will be more agressive protest. On man started singing the old communist song - the International,and with the red flag and all. Some people threw snow balls at the parliement building. The clock was 15:00 hours ( GMT ) and this is the shortest day in Iceland. Not much daylight And the second video is from the pond in central Reykjavik - and what the guys on the ice where thinking - i dont want to know. December, 2008 Iceland central bank attacked december 1st 2008 video Last monday, 1st december 2008 - Iceland celebrated it 90th annivercary of Self Rule from Denmark. We got independence in 1944. People went to Arnarholl ,the hill between the govermnet house and the Central bank. There protest speaches where held ,and still demanding the ressignation of the goverment ,and the Central Bank managers. After the protest was over ,people went to the central bank ,and tried to get in . To do what ,i dont know. Police tried to stop the protesters. Protesters got into the lobby,but there big glass doors where shut,and police where in front of the door. But later the Police left,and the people got into the inner lobby,and another glass door -and behind that door,was riot police ready. Protesters tried to get the Police to help them . The central bank was under siege for about one and a half hours. Protesters used eggs and paint at the building. Police warned the protesters ,that they would use pepperspray. But in the end ,the Police informed the protesters ,that mr: David Oddsson ,the ceo of the central bank,was not in the building. So the protesters told the police ,they would go out peacefully,if they would go out first. And leave three officers to confirm that the protesters had left the building. So all in all - a peaceful protest in Reykjavik - Iceland
