![Iceland Roundup #E67: EU Referendum, Blood & The Economy
[Note, part of the video is corrupt for unknown reasons, and were sorry about that]
The Reykjavík Grapevines Iceland Roundup brings you the top news with a healthy dash of local views. In this episode, Grapevine publisher Jón Trausti Sigurðarson is joined by Heimildin journalist Aðalsteinn Kjartansson, and Grapevine friend and contributor Sindri Eldon to roundup the stories making headlines in recent weeks. On the docket this week is, basically nothing but the recent EU referendum, which ended with a NO on August 29. We talk about the stunning 80% voter turnout, the Yes and No campaign’s polarizing tactics, pitting “wool sweater nationalism” against incomprehensible, artsy slogans. We also talk about the “European Army”, TikTok and the youth vote. When this is finally over and done with, we talk about a recent policy change in blood donations in Iceland, and the forthcoming problems that the government and the unions are facing, as the past months of inflation have voided the collective bargaining agreements that dictate the number on the paychecks of a significant number of the population of Iceland.
Highlights
[00:05:00] – The Referendum Breakdown
[00:18:00] – Campaign Aesthetics & Wool Sweater Nationalism
[00:35:53] – TikTok & The Youth Vote Shift
[00:52:38] – A Historic Victory for Blood Donation
