Minister of Justice Áslaug Arna Sigurbjörnsdóttir has once again introduced legislation that would altogether abolish Iceland’s controversial Naming Committee, amongst many other significant changes. Also: around 60% of Icelanders want to change the constitution and the Prime Minister of Iceland revealed that she is working on a crime novel with Ragnar Jónasson, who topped the German bestseller list just a few weeks ago.
