AGP Executive Report

Last update: 19 minutes ago

EU Referendum: Iceland will hold a “Brexit-style” vote on August 29 on whether to restart EU membership talks, with critics warning it’s the “worst business idea” and a “huge step away from democracy,” while supporters argue EU ties could strengthen trade and growth. Public Safety: Police are preparing for the Bergmál festival at Þingvellir, with road closures and about 100 officers on duty as around 20,000 people are expected. Justice & Care: Alþingi has approved a new legal framework for court-ordered security measures outside prison, creating a secure facility for up to 16 high-risk people needing specialised supervision. Crime Watch: Police are hunting a suspect in a donation scam that allegedly charged victims thousands of euros after steering them to pay by card instead of cash. Whaling Row: Iceland’s whaling hunt has resumed after a two-year pause, despite protests and animal welfare concerns, with fin and minke quotas set for the season. Culture & Community: Reykjavik’s film producers have elected a new chair at SÍK amid funding worries, and the city’s summer events keep rolling with folk dance and trad sessions.
