Islandia rechaza reiniciar negociaciones de adhesión a la UE

El 22 de agosto Islandia votó en contra de reabrir las negociaciones de adhesión a la UE, con un 52,8 % de los votantes rechazando la medida, informó Politico. eu. El resultado se describió como un revés para la agenda de ampliación de la Unión Europea. Previo al referéndum, los debates giraban en torno a los derechos de pesca, la estabilidad económica y la seguridad, señaló la BBC. Según la BBC, las encuestas mostraban una ligera ventaja para el voto «no», mientras que Euronews. com había indicado inicialmente una ligera ventaja para el «sí».

El líder del Partido del Centro, Sigmundur Davíð Gunnlaugsson, dijo a Politico. eu que el referéndum no obligaría al gobierno a retomar las negociaciones y minimizó la retórica estadounidense sobre Groenlandia. AP News informó que las declaraciones de EE.  UU. sobre Groenlandia influyeron en la opinión pública, y NPR reportó que los primeros resultados daban una ligera ventaja al lado pro-UE.
