Became very strange and even excited

Prime Minister Ólafur Thor presented at the end of March 1955 a speech in the lower division of Parliament for a bill to grant Kópavogur the marketplace rights. The Prime Minister emphasized in his speech that Kopavogshreppur had now become so large that it would be unthinkable other than to change the governance there, if successful. And he pointed out that there was a challenge to Parliament from the majority of voters in the ruling to grant him a marketplace right.

Obviously and undisputed, you probably think with you. But, no. Namely, communists in parliament, according to Morgunbladid, were very unclear and even excited, when this issue came up for discussion. « They showed full opposition to the matter and wanted to pull it all over, without giving any other arguments for it than their point of view in Kopavogur has failed to negotiate the electoral roll for the right time, however, offering him the newspaper.

These Communists, of course, were the MPs of the Socialist Party – the Socialist Party.

Olaf Thor, in his speech, argued the main arguments that were to give Kópavogur the marketplace rights. He pointed out how special in this matter was that the committee had not applied for a marketing right, but had begun to move on it among the public, which felt clearly to the extent to which the board of directors was. But the majority of the committee constantly asked for sting and tried to stop the normal development.

Long excitement

« It has been a habit, » said Olafur, « that the legislature gives them the right -wing marketing rights that grow rapidly. Now it is unique that some people are taking as rapidly as Kópavogshreppur, and it is therefore not natural to accept the request of the majority of the population. Termatic rights. « 

Lúðvík Jósepsson, a member of the Socialist Party, now spoke and held a long excitement, according to Morgunbladid. His speech was to challenge the signatures under the challenge document. He said that out of the 760 who signed, 224 were not found on the electoral roll. He went on the most important words about the signature collection.
