First Lady Of Iceland Joins Debt Crisis Protestors [VIDEO]

Dorrit Moussaieff - wife of Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson, Iceland's president - made a dramatic gesture over the weekend by hopping a security fence to join in with a group of protesters hurling eggs and yoghurt at politicians, demanding that the government do more to help the lower-income bracket.

Aim for the video’s three-minute mark to see the action.

Dorrit Moussaieff – wife of Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson, Iceland’s president – made a dramatic gesture over the weekend by hopping a security fence to join in with a group of protesters hurling eggs and yoghurt at politicians, demanding that the government do more to help the lower-income bracket.

Commentators at the moment aren’t really sure what to make of the move – with cynics assuming that the media-savvy Grímsson orchestrated the event as a PR stunt. Others are convinced that the first lady’s sympathy for the protesters is genuine.
