The Icelandic Prime Minister was on and promised that the infrastructure problem would be addressed by her government and all would be well - but not today! |

I live here in the Eastern Region of Iceland at the moment , but my home town is in the Westfjord´s of Iceland , there are the same problem . Shame on our Prime Minister and our government . |
