Few photos and video from the protest in Reykjavik yesterday.
Here you can see a girl - trying to stop the kids throwing rocks and eggs at the ICelandic Parliement Building.
She is telling them to respect the house - but not those that work there ( elected members of parliement )
Tomorrow night ( 20:00 hours GMT ) there will be a citizen mmeting in one of the local movie theater.
The Icelandic goverment ,all the ministers and the president of the Iceladic central Bank , a mr: David Oddson ,have been invited.
They will have chairs for them on the stage - and every chair will have the ministers name on it .
So we can see who will come - and who do not dare to come .
I will post video and photos tomorrow night - after the meeting -
Comennts welcomed
