Ásthildur not expelled from the People's Party

Ásthildi Lóa Þórsdóttir, the outgoing Minister of Children and Education, is not expected to be expelled from the People's Party. Inga Sæland, the party's chairwoman, answered a question from a Heimliðinn reporter in the negative when she was asked if it was up for discussion. This was stated at a press conference with government leaders at noon today. The People's Party board then expelled Karl Gauti Hjaltason and Ólaf Ísleifsson from the party…

Inga Sæland, Minister of Social Affairs and Housing, says that the People's Party is completely against Iceland's entry into the European Union. She also says that there seems to be some strange misunderstanding when it comes to a referendum.
