Ásgrímsson declines to comment 8. júní 2006 10:30 Prime Minister Halldór Ásgrímsson, who is about to step down from his post, is currently meeting with the Polish Prime Minister. At a press meeting he declined to comment on who would be replacing him as head of the Progressive party . Finnur Ingólfsson, former head of the central bank whom many thought would replace Ásgrímsson has decided that he will not be returning to politics. Deputy leader of the Progressive party and Minister of Agriculture Gudni Ágústsson released a statement on Monday night saying that his agreement with Ásgrímsson that both would resign would not stand. Ásgrímsson also declined to comment on Ágústsson's statement, saying, " I am not going to comment on 'Agústsson's statement, I think he has said rather too much and i am not going to comment further until new positions have been decided within the government. Siv Friðleifsdóttir, minister of health would not comment yesterday, but rumours have arisen on her playing a big part in leading the progressive party in the future. Ásgrímsson and President Marcinkiewics discussed the EEA agreement and the participation of polish citizens in the Icelandic workforce. They both expressed their pleasure at the fact that Polish citizens can now seek work in Iceland as freely as other EEA citizens. - amb News News in English Mest lesið Hafi verið látinn fljúga þrátt fyrir þekkt andleg veikindi Innlent Vissu ekki að þeir væru að ræna Kim Kardashian Erlent Réðust á tvo menn á göngu Innlent Bogi les sinn síðasta fréttatíma á morgun Innlent Telur að Selenskí geti samþykkt að gefa eftir Krímskaga Erlent Rúmur helmingur óhress með Trump Erlent Hljóðheimur sumarsins í hættu: Mikil fækkun lóu og spóa Innlent „Ég vildi óska að fólk gæti séð drenginn minn eins og hann er“ Innlent Kjördagur framundan í Kanada Erlent Sixtínsku kapellunni lokað vegna páfakjörs Erlent
