Parliaments Prosecutor issued an indictment against Geir H. Haarde, former Prime Minister on Tuesday.
A list of prosecution witnesses is pretty interesting but the main Heavyweight people in government and officials of Bank system when the banks were on its side in 2008.
The national court will start proceidings on the 7th of june .
But now the Member of parliament and chairman of the independence party ,is trying to get parliament to stop the indictment against the Former Prime Minister.
Many think that during the courts procedings,that the more information will come up.
And many members of parliament , in all parties,do not want to open that .
The witness list includes,former minister,CEO´s of the central bank and more .
They could get questions ,that could open more bad information on the banking crash in 2008.
Here is a video i took of a citizen meetings,and they booed at the Prime minister,mr. Geir Haarde.
And here is a video from last october,when the Presidents wife joined protesters,as they where throwing eggs and fruits at members of parliament.

James Bond in Iceland ---- Icelandic Symphony playing Dr. No - music
I went to enjoy some local culture .
I enjoyed some classical music at the new concert and convention building - The Harp.
The Icelandic Symphony was being conducted by the British conductor,Mr. Carl Davis.
And i think you will enjoy the classical peace ---
The Harp is a beutiful building - and you can see that i am quite high on the balconys.
The symphony was playing music from the James Bond films.
and James Bond is based on Ian Flemmings friend , William Stephenson ----and William was of Icelandic origins .
If you google William Stephenson ,you can see how he is connected to Bond.

Protest in Iceland , and short days ,video
Now is the season of short day here in Iceland .
It gets colder and the snow makes arrives.
Last saturday there was a small protest meeting in front of the Parliament building,and also some live music.
The weather was very cold,freezing at around minus 10 on the celcius,and windy.
Banks are still writing off big debts ,that big companys had,but the public must pay all.
The public gets little help from the banks and/or goverment.
Many have moved to other countries to get a better life.
Looks like it does not matter what political party you vote for ,the never keep their campaign promises.
It is very difficult to respect members of parliament here in Iceland .
Many members of parlament have got the bubble loans written off and dont have to pay anything,and at the same time ,many voters are loosing their houses.
Here you can see a video from the protest and also a video of how the sunset is in Iceland at around 15:00 hours
