A few dozens of "Occupy Norway" protesters gathered on the square in front of the Norwegian parliament building in Oslo on Saturday, joining the global agitation to show solidarity with the U.S. "Occupy Wall Street" protesters against what they called the corrupt financial system represented by the Wall Street financial institutions, APA reports quoting Xinhua.
The peaceful demonstration began at 12 o’clock local time (1000 GMT) as police kept a close watch from nearby.
The protesters belong to different groups. Some called for taxing financial speculations globally and using Norway’s oil fund for alternative energy projects while others questioned the relevance of the Western political system of representative democracy.
