Lady Protestor Disrupts ECB's Mario Draghi Speech, Shouts: “End ECB ‘dick-tatorship’”

Despite record setting stocks, central bankers seem as looking less popular these days. 

From the Guardian

Mario Draghi, the president of the European Central Bank, has been showered in confetti by a female protester who interrupted his monthly press conference in Frankfurt screaming: “End ECB ‘dick-tatorship’”. 

The woman, wearing a black T-shirt carrying the same slogan, clambered on top of the desk where Draghi was delivering his opening speech after the bank’s latest policy meeting. She threw a handful of papers at him, and sprinkled confetti into the air.

It was unclear what point the protester hoped to make, but copies of the leaflets she was throwing, which later emerged on Twitter, accused the ECB of exercising “arrogance” and “autocratic hegemony”. She was identified by the police as a 21-year-old from Hamburg.

Perhaps this could have been related to the recent Blockupy anti-ECB violent protests during the ECB's official inauguration of its new headquarters at Frankfurt Germany last March. See pictures here. Then, several police cars were set ablaze that led to the arrest of the 350 dissenters.

Nonetheless, the lady assailant of Mr. Draghi, the 21 year old Ms. Josephine Witt had her tweets published at the Zero Hedge, which included her manifesto...

The above seem to signify symptoms of a developing phenomenon.

Here is my guess. Once the global crisis becomes a reality, protests against central banks will snowball and may even become more violent.
