Iceland, green prime minister Jakobsdóttir finds agreement with moderates: priority to climate change

BERLIN – Iceland’s 45-year-old left-wing green prime minister Katrín Jakobsdóttir yesterday reached an agreement with the allies, and will continue to govern with the moderate center-right. This concludes the long negotiations begun after the elections of 25 September, which was also complicated by the recount. In the end, his coalition of broad understandings convinced 60 per cent of voters, even if his party lost votes: the efficiency of the heterogeneous coalition and the personal prestige of the young chief executive, now a expert dean of female leaders and statesmen in the free world.
