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 Strandveiðisjómaður lést Innlent Allkröpp lægð á leiðinni til landsins Veður Biður Höllu afsökunar á fréttum af meintum lífvörðum Innlent Ældi í rútunni og réðst svo á bílstjórann Innlent Samstöðinni verði mögulega lokað í kvöld: Vilja fá lögbann á boðaðan aðalfund Innlent Unglingsstúlka lést þegar hestur dró hana eftir jörðinni Erlent Tugir missa vinnuna í sumar Innlent Snurða hljóp á þráðinn í nótt Innlent Fötlun þýði ekki að börn njóti þess minna að róla og leika sér Innlent Hefur í hótunum við New York vegna „kommúnistans“ Mamdani Erlent
