Halldor Asgrimsson
Ex-Prime Minister
Progressive Party

The man whose political career had to be rescued with the sacrifice of the greatest untouched wilderness of Europe

Asgrimsson has resigned as Prime minister, member of parliament and chairman of the so called Progressive Party because of the shambles Icelandic economy has got into due to his heavy industry nightmare!
“During the 1980’s, when Halldór Ásgrímsson (who was forced to resign as PM in June 2006) was minister of fisheries, the whaling policy caused untold damage to Icelandic interests. At the time Halldór Ásgrímsson lied repeatedly to the nation that whaling was not affecting Icelandic interests abroad, when in fact anyone who wanted to know knew that one fish factory after another in Icelandic ownership was having to shut down in Germany, Canada and the US due to public boycots in these countries.
Now Halldór Ásgrímsson has gone into ignoble exile abroad in some cushy position, when in fact he should be prosecuted for his long record of corruption. Instead he counts his millions, never being known for his concern about his own reputation. But his unexplained scampering out of Icelandic politics was aided at the time by the complete silence of Icelandic media about his real reasons to jump ship. And yet this was our Prime Minister! A man who was very much responsible for the corrupt fish quota system (from which he and his own family ‘dynasty’ profit heavily), the criminally ill-advised heavy industry policy and Iceland’s highly questionable support for the war against the Iraqi people. Not to speak of his personal profiting from the sale of the Agricultural Bank, while in office. ”

Valgerdur Sverrisdottir    Ex-Minister of Industry and CommerceProgressive PartyThe ‘Aluminium Lady’ likes to linedance on the soggy grave of the Icelandic highlands

UPDATE August 2006! Sverrisdottir has been pulled out as Minister of Industry due to the general loathing she has generated with her personality and policy. It has now been confirmed that Sverrisdottir witheld vital geological reports from the Icelandic parliament with grave concerns regarding the safety of the Karahnjukar dams. In the fall of 2006 she did her best to ignore the opposition’s repeated calls for her resignation (due to the above mentioned corruption).     

 
   

Jonina BjartmarzFormer minister of the EnvironmentYet another dedicated foe of Icelandic nature from the Progressive Party.Incidentally the sister of a certain notoriously volatile police chief engaged in a most unconventional and wrathful propaganda war against protestors at Karahnjukar.Bjartmarz was voted out of parliament in the general elections 12 May 2007 due to corruption.

The Progressive Party

 

The “cancer of Iceland” is probably one of the most

corrupt political parties in Scandinavian history and

certainly the most despised by the Icelandic people.
The party finally fell out of government in the 2007 elections.
