REYKJAVIK, Iceland — Iceland’s government could be ousted from power this weekend, becoming Europe’s first to fall as a direct result of the global financial crisis, a spokesman for the prime minister said Saturday.
Thousands of people protested the government’s handling of the economy outside the parliament building as Prime Minister Geir Haarde’s Independence Party held crisis talks with its coalition partner, the Social Democratic Alliance.
The alliance might seek to oust Haarde and form a minority government with opposition parties until May elections, said the prime minister’s spokesman, Kristjan Kristjansson.
