Iceland Passes Asylum Clampdown Law

Iceland will tighten asylum laws after MPs voted 38 to 15 to strip benefits away from failed asylum seekers. The island nation has recently witnessed a dramatic spike in refugee arrivals, with over 2,500 asylum applicants lodged last year in a country of 370,000.

The ‘Alien Bill’’ proposed by the Icelandic Minister for Justice Jón Gunnarsson received the support of all three ruling government parties despite vocal opposition from the Pirate Party and Social Democrats, who raised concerns that refugees would be left homeless.

Iceland first country in Europe to have more female than male MPs

What do you mean “consent” to rape and pillage?

Iceland has become the first country in Europe to have more women than men in parliament, a day after a general election that left the future of the prime minister, Katrín Jakobsdóttir, in doubt despite her left-right coalition winning a clear majority.

Of the 63 seats in the Althing parliament, 33 – or 52% – were won by women, projections based on the final results showed on Sunday. No other European country has had more than 50% female lawmakers, with Sweden coming closest at 47%, according to data compiled by the World Bank.

Iceland says reintroduced COVID-19 restrictions may stick for 15 years

Iceland, one of the first countries in the world to abolish all COVID-19 restrictions for vaccinated tourists, may see recently reimposed safety protocols in place for 15 years, according to one of the Nordic country’s chief medical experts.

Despite the overwhelming majority of Iceland’s adult population having been vaccinated, chief epidemiologist Thorolfur Gudnason said he cannot rule out that reintroduced COVID-19 restrictions may become necessary for many years to come.
