Iceland Votes Down EU Accession Restart in Referendum

Iceland Votes Down EU Accession Restart in Referendum

Iceland voted on August 22 to reject restarting its EU accession talks, with 52. 8% of voters opposing the move, Politico. eu reported. The result was described as a setback for the European Union’s enlargement agenda. Earlier that week, the referendum had been framed around fishing rights, economic stability and security concerns, BBC noted. Polls on the day showed a narrow lead for the No side, according to BBC, while Euronews. com had initially indicated a slight advantage for the Yes side.

Centre Party leader Sigmundur Davíð Gunnlaugsson told Politico. eu that the vote would not bind the government to resume talks, and he downplayed U. S. rhetoric about Greenland. AP News said that U. S. statements on Greenland influenced voter sentiment, and NPR reported early results giving a slim edge to the pro-EU camp.
