Today there was a protest meeting in Reykjavik.
People where protesting,that the parliement is going to accept the debt about the ICelave accounts.
One of the Banks that collapsed last year,had started an invesment scheme in Europe,with the name - Icesave.
And when the banks collapsed,they owed about 650 billion kronas.
The exchange rate is now - 1 dollar = 129 kronas .

And to pay that - the goverment must raise taxes,save in the welfare system,pay less pension to the old people and more.
People are angry ,that why should the public pay ,for what the viking bankers and politicians did .
Some firecrackers where shot during the protest today.
But it was ,of course,very peaceful.
Protest will be next saturday again - and mabey in the middle of the week - when the Icesave accounts are being discussed at parliement in Reykjavik - Iceland.

Today there was the dayli protest against the discussion on parliement about the Icesave saving accounts in Europe.
The goverment is about to put inot law,that the goverment will pay the debt,that the Banks made.
That means ,in the amount of 650 billion kronas.
People belive that ,if it will be payed by the goverment ,then taxes will  have to rise,and the welfare system in Iceland will go down.

The protest started peacefully,but then a few protesters sat down on the street in front of the parliement .
That was not acceptable by the police,and the protesters did not obey the police,so 8 where arrested.

Today was a great day in Reykajvik - Boats of every size in Reykjavik harbour .
Resque boat in training ,sailboat and a speed boat and of course a bigger boat ( Cruise liner from Japan )
And of course ,peaceful protest in front of the ICelandic parliement building.
So peaceful that tourists from Japan cruise boat where there,and people just kissing in front of the building.
And the weather great ,as always ( well sort of ) and no police around .
If that isnt a peaceful protest ,well,then i dont know what a peaceful protest should look like !
