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 Hundarnir þegar aflífaðir en ákvörðun um lógun ólögmæt Innlent Amma ræsti neyðarhnapp við enn eina árás dóttur sinnar Innlent Öryggisráðið ákveður að taka yfir Gasa-borg Erlent Lést við flúðasiglingar í Vestari-Jökulsá Innlent Dvalarleyfi langtum dýrara í hinum Norðurlöndunum Innlent Maður féll í Vestari-Jökulsá Innlent Telja að lífvörður myndi aðeins gera ferðamenn kærulausari Innlent Fann hagtölur sem honum líkar og hélt óvæntan blaðamannafund Erlent Keppa við Kínverja og Rússa um að koma kjarnakljúfi til tunglsins Erlent Nauðsynlegt að fólk fái úrræði til að vernda sig frá djúpfölsunum Innlent
