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 Skýrt ákall um heilsdagsverkfall á kvennafrídegi í ár Innlent Kynfræðsla ekki endilega forgangsatriði í fermingarfræðslu Innlent „Þessi starfsemi er komin til að vera“ Innlent Kannast ekki við gagnrýni á fegurðarsamkeppni ungmenna Innlent Ekki sé gagnlegt að etja Krabbameinsfélaginu og Ljósinu saman Innlent Olíuboranir að hefjast beint norður af Íslandi Innlent Samþykktu leiðtogaprófkjör hjá Viðreisn í Reykjavík Innlent Stöðva framleiðslu í álverinu á Grundartanga Innlent Fleiri stöðugildi sjúkraþjálfara muni fara í skriffinnsku Innlent Sakar Krabbameinsfélagið um að vera í raun fjármálafyrirtæki Innlent
