Dozens of people have been hurt and some 350 people arrested as anti-austerity demonstrators clashed with police in the German city of Frankfurt.
The bank, in charge of managing the euro, is also responsible for framing eurozone policy and, along with the IMF and European Commission is part of a troika which has set conditions for bailouts in Ireland, Greece, Portugal and Cyprus.
At the same time, ECB president Mario Draghi, formerly vice president of Goldman-Sachs and currently still a member of the financial lobbyists called Group of Thirty, opened new the headquarters as if nothing else is happening; even though thousands were protesting outside, obviously unhappy with his decisions.
