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 Albert mættur í dómsal Innlent Gerði sér mat úr kattaráti andlega veikrar konu Erlent „Lærisveinn“ Pélicot sagður hafa beitt sömu aðferðum á eigin konu Erlent Talinn hafa svipt barn frelsi sem hann grunaði um að stela veipi Innlent „Fólk fer hreinlega grátandi frá mér“ Innlent Sigurður Helgi Guðjónsson látinn Innlent „Það var mikil geðshræring á heimilinu“ Innlent „Þetta er ákall frá ungmennunum sjálfum“ Innlent 171 handtekinn og 402 börnum bjargað í aðgerðum í Malasíu Erlent „Góði líttu þér nær!“ Innlent
