« Walking and Black » in Parliament

The fishing tax bill was the main speech under the meeting of the Presidential Meeting of Parliament today. There, the MPs and the opposition were involved in the war.

Bergþór Ólason, Member of the Central Party and a member of the Business Committee, began the debate on criticizing the request to receive the tax for the Business Committee had been rejected this morning. Bergthór said calculations from the tax show considerable errors in the Ministry of Industry’s calculations regarding the bill.

Therefore, it should be ensured that the tax could come to a meeting with the committee and explain, for example, where the Ministry of Industry’s mistakes were.

« Complete violence »

Next came Jón Gunnarsson, MP for the Independence Party and 2. Vice Chairman of the Committee, Fram and took the words of Bergþór.

« I would also like to mention that one experiences the working methods in the high -ranking business committee so that it cannot be compared to anything other than complete violence, and when such basic information is coming out almost in the last few hours, as is the case with the tax,

He also said that a number of other commentators had also not been given the opportunity to appear before the committee, and also mentioned that the Regional Development Agency had been repeatedly rejected. Likewise, financial undertakings, all of whom had started to calculate the effects of fishing fees, would have been rejected.

« This is how we can list the list indefinitely, dignified president, and this cannot be compared to anything but complete violence in working methods. Besides, of course, how horrificly unusual work is in this important matter. »

Njáll Trausti Friðbertsson, Member of the Independence Party and a member of the committee, took over Jón’s words. Njáll’s confidence said that it would have to be much better than had been done when working on fishing fees. It would be as if trying to finish the job as fast as possible.

Not adults to honor

Next addressed the chairman of the committee, Sigurjón Þórðarson.

He said that work had begun on a committee opinion, which would take into account the views that were stated in information from the tax.

Then he said it was ridiculous that people should « complain and cry » about the guests of the committee, which were over 50. Then the « pick and scare » of adults in the parliament would not be honored when there was a problem for working in the matter.

« Protect the special interests of the big company »

Guðmundur Ari Sigurjónsson, MP for the Social Democratic Alliance, spoke shortly thereafter and recalled that the matter had been given a detailed discussion in the committees of the parliament.

« So when it is to settle the matter, everything is impossible, everything is uncomfortable and after getting guests. This is of course just a ferry, » said the MP, who also stated that he feared that the minority was now simply trying to stop the case because they disagreed.

« This is not about the form. This is about the fact that the minority’s high -ranking MPs are safeguarding the special interests of the big fishing industry, do not want the fishing fee to be broken and are therefore fixing in the form.

Honorable President. I feel sorry to be directing these words to you or the honorable Chairman of the Business Committee, because here it is good for everyone except the opposition. « 

Guðmundur Ari Sigurjónsson, Member of the Social Democratic Alliance.

Poorly worked, ill -considered and with poor reasoning

However, the opposition’s criticism continued. There, among other things, Bryndís Haraldsdóttir, a member of the Independence Party, stepped forward and said that « wounds and shadows » came from the majority because the opposition was playing its democratic role.

Then each issue came from one another from the government that was poorly worked, ill -considered and with poor reasoning.

Jón Gunnarsson also continued his criticism. He said the number of guests of the committee was dubious and that a list of guests who had come before the committee had been requested on Tuesday. That list had not yet arrived.

Then it would be a disgrace to public representatives, experts, government agencies and municipalities that they were refused to come before the committee.
