Why did the Icelandic protesters raise the flag of the supermarket-chain Bónus on the parliament building in Reykjavík last Saturday?
Bónus belongs to one of the richest and mightiest Icelanders, Jón Ásgeir Jóhannesson, chairman of Baugur Group, who is supposed to be one of the causer of the Icelandic finance crisis. (By the way, in German the word Ásgeir looks like Aasgeier = vulture.)
Bónus is the cheapest supermarket-chain in Iceland and its flag shows a fat pink piggy bank.
Jón Ásgeir Jóhannesson now tries to concentrate the Icelandic mass media in his hands.
Look at the video of the protest in Reykjavík .
