It was unclear how the woman, who was wearing a t-shirt with the punning slogan “End ECB dick-tatorship” was able to gain access into the ECB headquarters in Frankfurt. Although the protester, who appeared to have an English accent, eschewed FEMEN’s customary tactic of naked protest, several media observers identified her as an activist belonging to the international protest group. She had allegedly gatecrashed previous public appearances by Vladimir Putin and Dominique Strauss-Kahn.



The woman was quickly intercepted by security and removed from the stage, as the TV feed cut off. The press conference restarted within a matter of minutes, with an obviously bemused Draghi fastidiously sweeping the remains of the confetti off his desk.
