‘End ECB Dick-tatorship!’ [Video]

A protester, apparently from the FEMEN protest movement, interrupted a televised speech by European Central Bank president Mario Draghi, when she jumped onto the table and showered him with confetti, while shouting “End ECB dictatorship!”

It was unclear how the woman, who was wearing a t-shirt with the punning slogan “End ECB dick-tatorship” was able to gain access into the ECB headquarters in Frankfurt. Although the protester, who appeared to have an English accent, eschewed FEMEN’s customary tactic of naked protest, several media observers identified her as an activist belonging to the international protest group. She had allegedly gatecrashed previous public appearances by Vladimir Putin and Dominique Strauss-Kahn.

The woman was quickly intercepted by security and removed from the stage, as the TV feed cut off. The press conference restarted within a matter of minutes, with an obviously bemused Draghi fastidiously sweeping the remains of the confetti off his desk.

When the floor was subsequently opened to questions, Draghi reassured a concerned journalist that he was not affected by the incident.

The economic content of the event brought few surprises, with the 67-year-old Italian banker confirming that ECB interest rates will remain unchanged, and endorsing a continuation of its quantitative easing program.

  1. God bless this courageous young woman! Out of hundreds of millions of Europeans, she stood up to the bankster lies at their own public propaganda event. May she inspire waves of Greeks, Spaniards, and Italians to do the same. The image of Draghi cowering in fear below her foot is priceless!
