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 Fær þyngri dóm fyrir að nauðga konu, taka það upp og senda henni Innlent Íslendingur í Bandaríkjunum: „Þetta er mjög óþægileg staða“ Erlent Fólki sé vel treystandi til að fá sér bjór á íþróttaviðburðum Innlent NEL tekur fyrir mál fjölskyldu Sigurðar Kristófers í júní Innlent Lögregla leitar manns Innlent Rússar notuðu Brasilíu sem njósnaraverksmiðju Erlent Svona verður Sæbraut í stokki Innlent Ákærður fyrir að ráðast á leigubílstjóra Innlent Netanjahú segir Starmer, Macron og Carney draga taum Hamas Erlent Græddu á hjólinu í fyrra og vilja endurtaka leikinn Innlent
