Iceland Ministers Resign Following Protests
Today it was announced that the minister of commerce and banking have resigned as well as the chairman of the Icelandic Financial Supervisory Authority (FME) along with board of directors!
It's obvious that protests and riots past 16 weeks are finally starting to pay off and the power clan is finally started to break down. However, this is just the start and if the power clan thinks that this is enough - they need to think again. The public wants resignation also from the minister of finance.
Now two demand's of the protestors has been met and that is the demand of new elections and the resignation of the FME chairman and board of directors.
Three demands are left and those are:
- Resignation of chairman (Davíð Oddsson) and board of directors at the Central Bank of Iceland.
- Independend investigation of the financial and political system here in Iceland
- Restoration of democracy in Iceland with a new constitution.
The chairman (Geir H. Haarde) of the bigger government party has told that new election will be held 9th of May but the public wants election sooner.
There are rumours that possible more big news will follow later this day or tomorrow so stay tuned!
