Videos from last weeks demonstrations in Iceland

Here are some videos from the demonstrations that i recorded with my phone.

The first one is from 22/1 and shows the atmosphere when people are screaming ´vanhæf ríkisstjórn´ or ´incapable government´ in front of Parliament.

The other two are from last saturday 24/1 when around 6000 people gathered in Austurvöllur, downtown Reykjavík, for the 16th consecutive saturday and demanded that the government step down and that major cleanup will be done in the Central Bank and The Financial Supervisory Authority (the FME).

Although it does look like fait is taking control of the situation, the Prime Minister of Iceland just announced on friday that he has cancer and said there will be elections 9 May, and recently the Minister of Foreign Affairs has been having treatment for brain tumour.
