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 Grunaður árásarmaður í Úlfarsárdal handtekinn Innlent Hjalti Snær sá sem fannst látinn Innlent Haraldur Jóhannsson er látinn Innlent Leigubílstjóri fór í svaðilför á Teslunni upp í Þórsmörk og sneri heill heim Innlent Bað lögreglustjóra að „veita framvegis réttar upplýsingar“ Innlent Sat fyrir forseta Suður-Afríku með ásökunum um þjóðarmorð á hvítum Erlent Ber fyrir sig minnisleysi á verknaðarstundu Innlent Þrettán skemmtiferðaskip og Ísland uppselt Innlent Hæstiréttur gefur grænt ljós á búvörulögin Innlent Dvöl á Hrauninu fram undan eftir kókaínsmygl Innlent
