ECB press conference interrupted by protester

The European Central Bank governor Mario Draghi's press conference was briefly interrupted after a protester lurking among the crowd of journalists jumped on the table of the central bank's president while screaming "end ECB dictatorship".

The re-transmission of the broadcast was only briefly interrupted during a few seconds.

The incident serves to highlight the very tense political situation in some Eurozone countries and will likely bring into focus the possible need for stricter security measures.
