European Central Ban (ECB) President Mario Draghi was unhurt after a press conference was disrupted when a woman jumped on to the podium.
The protester, dressed in black, shouted: “End the ECB dictatorship.”
Draghi was visibly shaken and held his hand up in defence before the women was removed by security officials.
A Feminist activist group called Femen later claimed responsibility on Twitter for the protest. The press conference resumed shortly afterwards.
Note EU-Digest: fortunately for the woman representing Femen that she did not decide to do this protest at a US Central bank meeting, where she would have certainly been shot by "trigger happy" security there.
