Today there was the daylight protest against the discussion on parliament about the Icesave savings accounts in Europe.
The government is about to put into law, that the government will pay the debt that the Banks made.
That means, in the amount of 650 billion kronas.
People believe that if it will be payed by the government 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 parliament.
That was not acceptable by the police, and the protesters did not obey the police, so 8 were arrested.
