“Don’t meddle in our referendum ”

With this appeal, Icelandic opposition leader Gudrun Hafsteinsdóttir addressed the Brussels bureaucracy: This refers to the national vote on Reykjavík’s possible accession to the EU, which will take place on August 29. The politician believes that “it is extremely important that this August decision be made by the Icelandic people themselves.”

Hafsteinsdóttir herself opposes EU membership, arguing that it runs counter to Icelanders’ national identity and their desire for sovereignty. Meanwhile, according to polls, Icelandic society is roughly evenly divided on this issue, making the outcome of the referendum very difficult to predict.
