We mic-checked the dansih prime ministers 1. may speech (Helle Thorning Schmidt). She stumbled a bit in her speech as we raised our Occupy signs and when we shouted after her: “HELLE ER BLÅ!” (“Helle is blue”. Wich in denmark means that blue is right wing and red is left wing, and SHE is the leader of the Socialdemocrats a left party). When she encited people to cut back on our salaries to show solidarity, we mic-checked her again “POWER TO THE PEOPLE - NOT TO THE BANKS!”. She will not forget Occupy for this.
