FRESH demonstrations calling for a new government took place in Iceland yesterday following the resignation of Prime Minister Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson on Tuesday.

Mr Gunnlaugsson suggested his Progressive Party’s vice-chairman Sigurdur Ingi Johannsson as his replacement.

The prime minister’s resignation was prompted by revelations of an offshore company in his name in the so-called Panama Papers released by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ).
