Prime Minister Bjarni Benediktsson emphasized that significant policy disagreements, particularly regarding foreign policy, asylum seekers, and energy, led to the dissolution of the coalition government.
Benediktsson noted that the key issues that surfaced during this governmental crisis were not sufficiently addressed in the previous election, pointing to a stark difference in vision between parties.
With a Gallup poll showing only 24.6% support for the coalition, Benediktsson expressed disappointment at the government's lack of a common vision, concluding it was time for new elections.
The Prime Minister met the Icelandic President to discuss the dissolution of parliament, with elections mandated to occur within 45 days, marking a significant political shift.
