For the second consecutive Monday thousands of protesters are expected to the center of Reykjavík in the afternoon to rally against the unpopular coalition government of the Progressive Party (Framsóknarflokkurinn) and the Independence Party (Sjálfstæðisflokkurinn).
Last Monday almost 5,000 protesters gathered on Austurvöllur square outside Iceland's parliament. The protesters have a mix of sentiments. The government's plan to race value-added tax on food from 7% to 12% has been met with fierce opposition and many are against planned public spending cuts in schools and hospitals.
