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 Flugslysið sem skók þjóðina og aldrei munu fást svör við Innlent Segja verkfall kennara skapa ójafnræði og óréttlæti Innlent Vaktin: Forsetakosningar í Bandaríkjunum Erlent Kosningavaktin: Íslendingar ganga að kjörborðinu Innlent Sigurvegarar í keppni Musks ekki valdir af handahófi Erlent „Ég var barnið sem vildi ekki taka í höndina á kennaranum sínum“ Innlent Ekki lægri meðalhiti frá árinu 1997 Veður Bandaríkjamenn ganga að kjörborðinu Erlent Útsendarar GRU sagðir hafa sent eldsprengjur með flugvélum Erlent Gera nú ráð fyrir 43 prósent meiri halla á ríkissjóði Innlent
