AGP Executive Report

Last update: 42 minutes ago

Whaling Resumes: Iceland killed two fin whales overnight Sunday, ending a two-year pause and drawing fresh protest as the government prepares a bill that could ban whaling this autumn. EU Membership Vote: Iceland is set to hold a “Brexit-style” referendum this summer on restarting EU talks, with critics warning it’s a “worst business idea.” Education & Migration: Alþingi approved full tuition fees for most non-EEA students from 2027–2028, while new residents from outside the EEA will get public health insurance sooner (waiting cut to three months). Reykjavík Politics: A Maskína survey finds nearly half of Reykjavík residents have high expectations for the new governing coalition. Environment & Enforcement: Police and rangers are investigating serious off-road damage in the highlands linked to foreign tourists, with calls for tougher penalties. Safety & Weather: A magnitude 3.1 quake was recorded on the Reykjanes Ridge, and a fatal motorcycle crash occurred east of Vík.
