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. "The new majority in city council has tried from the very first day to be the representative of old fashioned points of view," reads the statement, "not least of all regarding women's rights and equality." 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 Trump sendir þjóðvarðlið til Los Angeles Erlent Hætta með ökuskírteini í símaveski vegna Evrópureglna Innlent 70 milljóna króna halli vegna uppsagnar samningsins Innlent Danskur raunveruleikaþáttarkeppandi þurfti að skilja íslensku Erlent Hótar Musk alvarlegum afleiðingum styðji hann Demókrata Erlent Þrír reyndu að komast undan lögreglu Innlent Danskar herþotur verða staðsettar á Grænlandi Erlent Tók 12 ár að breyta reglum um bætur vegna seinkun flugferða Erlent Vísbendingar um að síðasta vígið sé fallið Innlent Sækja WorldPride í skugga bakslags í réttindum hinsegin fólks Innlent
