Halldor Asgrimsson
Ex-Prime Minister
Progressive Party
The man whose political career
had to be rescued with the sacrifice
of the greatest untouched
wilderness of Europe

UPDATE! Asgrimsson resigned in June 2006 as Prime minister, member of parliament and chairman of the so called Progressive Party because of the shambles Icelandic economy has got into due to his heavy industry nightmare!
During the 1980's, when Halldór Ásgrímsson was minister of fisheries, the whaling policy caused untold damage to Icelandic interests. At the time Halldór Ásgrímsson lied repeatedly to the nation that whaling was not affecting Icelandic interests abroad, when in fact anyone who wanted to know knew that one fish factory after another in Icelandic ownership was having to shut down in Germany, Canada and the US due to public boycots in these countries.
Now Halldór Ásgrímsson has gone into ignoble exile abroad in some cushy position, when in fact he should be prosecuted for his long record of corruption. Instead he counts his millions, never being known for his concern about his own reputation. But his unexplained scampering out of Icelandic politics was aided at the time by the complete silence of Icelandic media about his real reasons to jump ship. And yet this was our Prime Minister! A man who was very much responsible for the corrupt fish quota system (from which he and his own family 'dynasty' profit heavily), the criminally ill-advised heavy industry policy and Iceland's highly questionable support for the war against the Iraqi people. Not to speak of his personal profiting from the sale of the Agricultural Bank, while in office. "

David Oddsson
Ex-Prime Minister
President of the National Bank
Conservative Party
Prides himself with being a "special friend" of Italian ex-PM Berlusconi. Before Impregilo bid for Karahnjukar dams Oddsson had a series of meetings with Berlusconi. At the time Impregilo was up for liquidation but the Karahnjukar contract resqued the company. Exactly what did Oddsson and Berlusconi decide during their informal meetings in the sun at Thingvellir?
Oddsson is responsible for introducing the tendency of almost psychopathic vengefulness of his so called "Blue Hand" into Icelandic society. He entertains a ruthless court of lackeys and sycophants in the shadow of an unwholesome national cult of his own autocratic personality.
Finally jumped ship before the shit hit the fan in numerous ways, but made sure the departure was highly lucrative for himself.

Fridrik Sophusson
Director of Landsvirkjun

negotiations for the Kárahnjúkar dams)
Has already made arrangements for a
getaway to South-Africa
fridrik@lv.is

Ingibjorg Solrun Gisladottir
Chairman of The Social Democratic Alliance
Minister of Foreign Affairs
Signed the death warrant of Kárahnjúkar, as
Mayor of Reykjavik City, while outside her
window hundreds of people shouted "Don't sign!"
The authenticity of her recent claims of having
changed her mind about the heavy industry
policy remains to be tested in a new government.

Valgerdur Sverrisdottir
Ex-Minister of Industry and Commerce
Progressive Party
The 'Aluminium Lady' likes to linedance
on the soggy grave of the Icelandic highlands
valgsv@althingi.is
UPDATE August 2006! Sverrisdottir has been pulled out as Minister of Industry due to the general loathing she has generated with her personality and policy. It has now been confirmed that Sverrisdottir withheld vital geological reports from the Icelandic parliament with grave concerns regarding the safety of the Karahnjukar dams. In the fall of 2006 she did her best to ignore the opposition's repeated calls for her resignation (due to the above mentioned corruption).

Jonina Bjartmarz
Minister of the Environment
Yet another dedicated foe of Icelandic nature from the Progressive Party.
Incidentally the sister of a certain notoriously volatile police chief engaged in a most unconventional and wrathful propaganda war against protestors at Karahnjukar.
jbjart@althingi.is
Update: Bjartmarz was voted out of parliament in the general elections 12 May 2007 due to corruption.

Siv Fridleifsdottir
(with a certain Wade Hughes of Alcoa, formerly of Greenpeace!)
Infamous Ex-Minister of the Environment
Progressive Party
Overturned the verdict of the National Planning
Agency. Assumed she was going to be rewarded
for the dirty deeds but just got the boot in a
most humiliating manner.

Altech, Arctus ehf, Atlantsal, RUSAL etc.
A prominent aluminium lobbyist with closely guarded shady international connections including Russia, China and US.

The Progressive Party
The "cancer of Iceland" is probably one of the most
corrupt political parties in Scandinavian history and
certainly the most despised by the Icelandic people.
The party finally fell out of government in the 2007 elections.
