Protestors wanted a word with Central Bank governor and chairman Davíd
Oddsson but riot police prevented them from going any further than into
the entrance of the building.

They barged into the bank after one of the speakers at the meeting
urged, "Now let's go to the Central Bank and talk with Davíd." The
demonstrators' message was rather clear, "Davíd out!" as they repeatedly
chanted.

"It is a very simple demand and no one listens to it. Ninety percent of
the nation wants him gone," said protestor Gudjón Heidar Valgardsson.
Police warned people that teargas would be used if the situation
couldn't be kept under control otherwise.

Demonstrators said they would leave if police would unarm. Once police
complied with people's demand, they kept their word. "Long live the
people. We will be back!" a demonstrator shouted on the way out.
