Panama Papers leak leads to ‘largest protest’ in Iceland’s history

Thousands of people have taken to the streets of Iceland’s capital, Reykjavik, outraged by their Prime Minister’s alleged offshore accounts that were brought to light in the so-called Panama Papers, according to "Russia Today" news network.
Icelandic Prime Minister Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson reportedly failed to declare his stake in an offshore company based in the British Virgin Islands. The revelation has made Icelanders “mad” at their government, with some demanding a no-confidence vote and the PM’s resignation.
Banners reading “Elections Now” could be seen in the capital, Ice News reported, adding that other posters around the city encourage drivers to honk their horns in protest.
Over 10,000 Facebook users expressed their intent to attend Monday’s protest in Reykjavik. “Over 22,000 protesters [were] confirmed in the square” as the demonstration near the Parliament building grew, reports on Twitter suggested.
Whistleblower Edward Snowden suggested in a retweet that the protest might be the “largest by percentage of population in history.”
According to the Iceland Monitor, people were angered not only by the revelations of their PM’s unreported accounts, but also by his reaction to the protest. “It’s not like everyone is going to attend,” Gunnlaugsson said in an interview, sparking even more fury.
