The Leftist-Green Party issued a statement yesterday saying that the new Independence Party-Progressive coalition in Reykjavík city council is "the worst for Reykjavík," saying that the party is sorely neglectful of equal rights between genders in particular.

Dagur B. Eggertsson, city councilman for the Social Democrats, concurred with the statement, saying that in eight committees the new city council majority coalition has organised, "Two are led exclusively by men, four have just one woman, and two have three women," adding that the Equal Rights Committee of Reykjavík has directed city council to ensure equality between the sexes in all areas of city employment. - pfn News News in English Mest lesið Allt of margir með hugann annars staðar í umferðinni Innlent Kosningavaktin: Íslendingar ganga að kjörborðinu Innlent Missti stjórn á bílnum þegar klæðingin umvafði dekkin Innlent Hætta sem sáttasemjarar í deilu Ísraela og Hamas Fréttir Óeirðir í Valensía og kallað eftir afsögn ráðamanna Erlent Baráttan hafin á TikTok: Traktor í skeifunni, kaldar kveðjur og endurkoma Innlent Ætlar 1750 kílómetra á þrektækjum á einni viku í minningu vina Innlent Yazan og fjölskylda leita að nýju húsnæði Innlent Bjartsýn eftir fund í Virginíu vegna Söndru sem afplánar 37 ára dóm Innlent Lögreglan bannaði bjór á B5 Innlent
