Wants Referendum on NATO Membership
- I have argued in recent years that NATO is not a partnership that suits Icelanders, a member of the parliament says.
MP for the Left-Greens Ögmundur Jónasson plans to submit a bill for a referendum on Iceland’s membership to NATO when parliament reconvenes for the autumn, Iceland Reviews reports.
Ögmundur spoke with Bylgjun radio this morning.“I have argued in recent years that NATO is not a partnership that suits Icelanders,” he said. According to Ögmundur, there has been a change in the nature of the alliance … when the basic notion stated in NATO’s pact that an attack on one country is an attack on other countries was abandoned.
