Broken Cyprus Bows to Its New Eurozone Masters
Broken Cyprus Bows to Its New Eurozone Masters.Fyrst birt hjį PJ Media 26. marz 2013.Mike McNally.European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet, welcoming Cyprus into the European single currency in 2008:
Cyprus has agreed to a ten billion euro ($13bn) deal with eurozone and IMF leaders to bail out its banks, and to prevent the Mediterranean island nation from exiting the European single currency. However, Cypriots can be forgiven for not taking to the streets to wave flags and honk their car horns. Theyre finding out just what the protection afforded by the euro looks like, and its more akin to the kind offered by ski mask-wearing heavies in certain parts of New Jersey than the financial security Monsieur Trichet promised.Under the terms of the deal, the countrys second-largest bank will be shut down, and its largest bank will be restructured. Depositors with more than 100,000 ($130,000) in either bank will face losses in the vicinity of 40 percent. In a bid to prevent a run on the islands other banks and to stop money from fleeing the country, capital controls have been imposed guaranteeing that there will still be capital flight once the restrictions are lifted.The effect on the Cypriot economy will be catastrophic. Businesses serving the banking sector will begin to fail immediately, and others will follow. Property values will plummet and unemployment will soar as the country is plunged into recession.Weve been here before of course, with Greece (twice), Spain, Portugal, and Ireland. And compared to those crises, the Cyprus installment of the eurozone drama has been brief, and the amounts of money involved relatively small. But while Cyprus should not, on the face of it, pose much of a threat to the euro project it accounts for less than one third of one percent of the eurozone economy the manner in which the crisis has been handled may make this the most damaging episode yet in the single currencys turbulent history.In past bailouts, the inevitable haircut was imposed mostly on bank bondholders, but because most of the assets of Cypriot banks are in the form of deposits, it was decided that depositors would have to take a substantial hit. An initial bailout proposal caused uproar last week when it emerged that insured depositors would face losses; under EU law, bank deposits up to 100,000 are guaranteed, but because that guarantee only applies in the event of a bank failure and the banks had not at that point failed, the savings were considered fair game.That deal was rejected by the Cypriot parliament, and while the savings of insured depositors will not be raided under the terms of the new agreement, an alarming precedent has been set with the imposition of a levy on uninsured deposits. Eurozone leaders have let it be known that from now on they will target the savings of private individuals rather than inflicting losses solely on institutional bondholders such as other banks and pension funds.Investors in Greece, Spain, and elsewhere have been thinking that if the eurozone can do this to savers in Cyprus, they can do it to them when their country needs another bailout (when is more likely than if). And that fear was brewing even before the chairman of the eurozone declared that the Cyprus deal would indeed be a "template for future bailouts". As the euro and European markets fell, officials frantically attempted to row back from his statement amid fears of bank runs across southern Europe.The imposition of capital controls also sets a dangerous precedent for the eurozone, and will further spur savers to start moving their money out of banks in Europes weakest economies. Far from marking an end to the eurozone crisis, the harsh treatment meted out to Cyprus runs the risk of reigniting it on an unprecedented scale.A third new precedent is the seizing of money from large numbers of investors from outside the eurozone specifically Russians, who are thought to have around 25 billion ($32 billion) in Cypriot banks. Wealthy Russians have been stashing their money in Cyprus since the breakup of the Soviet Union, attracted by high interest rates, low taxes, and light regulation.In a bid to justify the raid on deposits, eurozone officials and politicians in Germany, which as the eurozones most powerful economy effectively underwrites the single currency, have been muttering about Cyprus being a tax haven and dropping hints about money laundering. Yet such accusations are moot given that large parts of its banking sector are about to be wiped out. And whatever Cypriot banks have been up to, they were doing it back in 2004 when the country was allowed to join the European Union, and when it joined the euro four years later. Political considerations trumped economic ones then, as they always have in the drive towards ever-closer union; several countries have been admitted to the euro despite failing to meet the requisite economic benchmarks.Its understandable that Germany, which is ultimately on the hook for the bailouts provided to Cyprus and other countries, is reluctant to be seen as bailing out Russian tycoons, particularly with elections due in September. But the roughly six billion euros ($7.5bn) that Germany is insisting must come from depositors is pocket change next to the hundreds of billions spent on bailing out other countries, and an awfully small sum over which to risk the entire eurozone.The euro was the pet project of Europes rich northern countries, in particular Germany and France, with the poorer southern nations brought along for the ride. The north needed markets for its exports, and the south was seduced by the promise of cheap and apparently limitless credit guaranteed by its economic betters, which fueled both property booms and growing entitlement states. Underpinning the whole enterprise was the dream of a European superstate to rival the U.S.When things started to go wrong following the credit crunch of 2008, the southern countries found themselves trapped, unable to devalue their way back to competitiveness while they remained in the euro, but unwilling to leave for fear of the consequences. One after another, theyve been forced to submit to punishing austerity and economic stagnation imposed by their new masters: EU and eurozone bureaucrats, and northern politicians.But a revolt is brewing. Tapping into a growing sense that ordinary people have been betrayed by a political class thats both incompetent and out of touch, anti-euro and populist parties have been gaining ground across the south, most recently in the Italian elections. If just one country finds the courage to leave the euro, there could be a stampede for the exit. (A euroskeptic party has even been launched in Germany, albeit with a very different motive: its supporters are tired of picking up the tab for what they view as profligate southerners.)The future of the eurozone is far from guaranteed, and the inept and cynical way in which its political and financial elites have dealt with Cyprus may yet have an impact on the continent out of proportion to its tiny size. |

Įsta Ragnheišur Jóhannesdóttir hampar heimskulegum hugmyndum
Įsta Ragnheišur Jóhannesdóttir hampar heimskulegum hugmyndum.Fyrst birt 29. marz 2013.Loftur Altice Žorsteinsson.Mönnum vefst tunga um tönn og veršur orša vant, žegar žeir upplifa ummęli eins og žau sem Įsta Ragnheišur Jóhannesdóttir lét frį sér fara 27. marz 2013, viš slit Alžingis. Heimskan hefur fylgt rķkisstjórn Jóhönnu Siguršardóttur, eins og skugginn fylgir Sólinni. Samt er žaš svo, aš oft ratast kjöftugum satt orš į munn og um žessar mundir er allt vert skošunar sem varšar stjórnarskrį Lżšveldisins.Samkvęmt hefšinni er ķ embętti forseta Alžingis sett žaš fólk sem heimskast er ķ meiri-hlutanum. Öll munum viš eftir Sturlu Böšvarssyni ķ Sjįlfstęšisflokki, sem er manna heimskastur ķ žeim flokki. Svo sannarlega er Įsta Ragnheišur manna heimskust ķ Samfylkingu. Mig grunar aš eftirfarandi ummęli hennar eigi eftir aš haldast lengi ķ minni:
Aš gera greinarmun į stofnuninni Alžingi og žingmönnunum sem žar starfa, er hugar-ęfing sem lķklega engum hefur dottiš ķ hug įšur og žvķ sķšur aš nokkur hafi lįtiš slķkar hugleišingar frį sér fara. Žaš lżsir sérkennilegu hugarfari aš tala meš žessum hętti um handhafa löggjafarvalds ķ lżšveldi. Er hęgt aš fį einhvern botn ķ svona hugsun, eša hugsunarleysi? Getur veriš aš Alžingi hafi sjįlfstęša tilveru og žingmennirnir séu bara einhvers konar skrautmunir innan veggja Alžingishśssins?Įsta Ragnheišur fullyršir, aš žrįtt fyrir flónsku žingmanna meiri-hlutans, hafi žjóšin óbilandi traust į stofnuninni Alžingi. Hśn gefur sķšan skżringu į fullyršingu sinni og segir:
Žetta er aušvitaš rétt, en varla nein sönnun į fullyršingunni um sjįlfstęša tilveru Alžingis, óhįša žingmönnum žess. Er ekki stašreyndin sś aš allt stjórnkerfi Lżšveldisins er mikilvęgt fyrir žjóšina, vegna žess aš žaš tryggir fullveldisréttindi almennings? Ég hugsa aš flestir landsmenn telji embętti forseta landsins mikilvęgara en Alžingi og vķsa žį sérstaklega til Icesave-deilunnar.Žaš var Alžingi sem setti Icesave-lögin, en žaš var forseti Lżšveldisins sem gaf žjóšinni tękifęri til aš hrinda žeirra įrįs Alžingis og rķkisstjórnar. Varla telur Įsta Ragnheišur aš žaš hafi veriš stofnunin Alžingi sem samžykkti Icesave-lögin, en žingmennirnir hafi hvergi komiš nęrri? Varla telur Įsta Ragnheišur aš embętti forsetans hafi beitt 26. grein Stjórnarskrįrinnar, įn atbeina forsetans?Įsta Ragnheišur styšur fullyršingu sķna einnig meš tilvķsun til pólitķskrar grósku, sem mešal annars birtist ķ mörgum frambošum til setu į Alžingi. Hśn vill meina aš frambošin sé »skżr traustyfirlżsing almennings til žessarar stofnunar«. Er ekki žvert į móti stašreyndin sś, aš fjöldi framboša er skżr vķsbending um vantraust žjóšarinnar į žvķ fólki sem skipaš hefur meiri-hluta į Alžingi og setiš ķ rķkisstjórn žetta kjörtķmabil?Įsta Ragnheišur telur žaš vera Vandann stóra, aš almenningur hefur réttan skilning į ešli Alžingis. Ekki er hęgt aš gera greinarmun į Alžingi og žeim mönnum sem žingiš skipa hverju sinni. Fundir Alžingis, umręšur og įkvaršanir, er lifandi vettvangur žess valdažįttar stjórnkerfisins sem fer meš löggjafarvaldiš. Aš halda žvķ fram aš neikvęš umręša um vanhęfni meiri-hlutans į Alžingi snerti ekki stofnunina Alžingi, eša stöšu žess ķ stjórnkerfi Lżšveldisins, er hrein og tęr heimska. |

Sjįlfstęšisflokkur žręšir torfęrur ķ ašdraganda kosninga
Sjįlfstęšisflokkur žręšir torfęrur ķ ašdraganda kosninga.Fyrst birt 28. marz 2013.Loftur Altice Žorsteinsson.Forusta Sjįlfstęšisflokks viršist hafa >af yfirlögšu rįši< įkvešiš aš žręša torfęrur ķ ašdraganda nęrstu Alžingiskosninga. Žrįtt fyrir skżrar samžykktir Landsfundar 24. febrśar 2013, varšandi upptöku fastgengis og andstöšu viš ESB-ašild, talar forusta Flokksins eins og ekkert sé vegakerfiš, eins og um sé aš ręša óvissuferš um torfęrur hįlendisins.Aš auki vekur furšu uppgjöf Flokksins į sķšasta degi Alžingis. Lögunum um breytingarįkvęši Stjórnarskrįrinnar er af hįlfu nśverandi rķkisstjórnar ętlaš aš aušvelda innlimun landsins ķ Evrópusambandiš. Hvers vegna tekur forusta Sjįlfstęšisflokks ekki af skariš, um aš strax aš loknum kosningum muni Flokkurinn leggja fram tillögu til įlyktunar, um aš višręšunum viš ESB verši slitiš ?Er ESB-andstaša Sjįlfstęšisflokks sżndarmennska?Bjarni Benediktsson sagši į fundi 23. marz 2013:
Til samanburšar hljóšar samžykkt Landsfundar svo:
Žessi samžykkt ętti öllum aš vera ljós. Hśn felur ķ sér kröfu um tafarlausa og formlega stöšvun višręšna og aš ašlögunarferliš verši EKKI tekiš upp aftur nema žjóšin samžykki žaš ķ žjóšarkönnun. Varšandi kröfu Flokksins um žjóšaratkvęši um Icesave-III-lögin, žį vita allir aš sś krafa var reykjar-kóf sem blįsiš var upp til aš fela samžykki Flokksins į Icesave-samningunum. Formašurinn nefnir ekki stöšvun višręšanna einu orši. Hugur hans er allur bundinn viš aš hefja višręšur af fullum krafti. Til hvaša manna er Bjarni aš vķsa, žegar hann segir: vilji menn standa ķ višręšum af žessum toga ?Er bśiš aš gleyma samžykktun Landsfundar um fastgengi ?Žrįtt fyrir aš Landsfundurinn hafi markaš skżra stefnu ķ įtt aš fastgengi, nefndi formašurinn žęr samžykktir engu orši. Ef ętlun Flokksins er aš halda įfram sömu heimskulegu og skašlegu peningastefnu sem gert hefur flest heimili og fyrirtęki ķ landinu gjaldžrota, mun Sjįlfstęšisflokkur hljóta hęfilega refsingu ķ kosningunum. Jafnvel Samfylking, sem žekkt er fyrir heimsku, hefur vit į aš telja fastgengi Evrunnar til mešmęla meš ESB. Til upprifjunar eru hér samžykktir Landsfundar um peningastefnu:

Frķverzlun viš Bandarķkin fęr óvęntan stušning
Frķverzlun viš Bandarķkin fęr óvęntan stušning.Fyrst birt ķ Fréttablašinu 23. marz 2013.Birgir Žórarinsson.Undirritašur flutti į Alžingi ķ október 2010 žingsįlyktun um frķverzlun viš Bandarķkin.Frķverzlun viš Bandarķkin, stęrsta hagkerfi heims, er mikiš hagsmunamįl fyrir Ķsland. Ķ henni felast fjölmörg nż tękifęri fyrir neytendur, inn- og śtflutning, fyrirtęki og fjįrfestingar.Viš undirbśning mįlsins įtti ég mešal annars fund meš rįšamönnum ķ Washington. Kom žaš vel ķ ljós aš žeir voru įhugasamir um mįliš. Žaš var ekki sķst žess vegna sem tillagan var flutt. Gat ég žess ķ umręšum į Alžingi aš įhugi vęri į mįlinu af hįlfu Bandarķkjanna. Žrįtt fyrir žaš nįši tillagan ekki fram aš ganga og skrifast žaš į įhugaleysi rķkisstjórnarflokkanna. Žeim hefur eflaust žótt žaš slęmt aš draga athyglina frį ESB-umsókninni.Nżveriš kom fram ķ fjölmišlum aš utanrķkisrįšherra hefur skrifaš hinum nżja utanrķkisrįšherra Bandarķkjanna, John Kerry, bréf žar sem hann óskar eftir aškomu Ķslands aš vęntanlegum frķverzlunarvišręšum Bandarķkjanna og ESB. Haft var eftir John Kerry aš višręšurnar yršu ekki einskoršašar viš rķki ESB heldur einnig önnur rķki er tengjast Evrópsku samstarfi. Žetta veršur ekki skiliš į annan veg en aš ašild aš ESB skipti ekki höfuš mįli ķ žessu sambandi. Žetta eru mikil tķšindi ķ ljósi fyrri orša um aš gangi Ķsland ķ ESB fįist frķverzlun viš Bandarķkin ķ bónus.Utanrķkisrįšherra er žróttmikill og vaskur stjórnmįlamašur og žį sérstaklega žegar kemur aš mįlefnum ESB. Hann hefur ekki sleppt hendinni af ESB-umsókn Ķslands žótt vaša hafi žurft eld og brennistein, heima og heiman.Ég vil žakka utanrķkisrįšherra fyrir žann įhuga sem hann sżnir nś frķverzlunarsamningi viš Bandarķkin. Žaš lķtur hins vegar śt fyrir aš honum muni ekki endast pólitķskt lķf ķ rįšuneytinu til aš ljśka mįlinu. Žaš hefur komiš į daginn aš Bandarķkin hafa įhuga į višręšum viš Ķsland. Rįšherra hefši įtt aš styšja žingsįlyktun mķna fyrir rśmum 2 įrum, hefja tvķhliša višręšur viš Bandarķkin og vera žar meš į undan ESB. Žaš hefši komiš honum į spjöld sögunnar. Ķsland į fjölmörg sóknarfęri ķ alžjóšasamskiptum įn Evrópusambandsins.<<<>>><><<<>>>Tillaga til žingsįlyktunar

Look at Iceland, which, like Cyprus, was awash with Russian money
Look at Iceland, which, like Cyprus, was awash with Russian money.Fyrst birt ķ The Telegraph 22. marz 2013.Charles Moore.Othello. Whats the matter, think you?Cassio. Something from Cyprus, as I may divine; It is a business of some heat.Shakespeare is on the money. Then, as now, Cyprus was the toy of foreign powers. Othello was sent there from Venice to repel the Turks, though luckily they all got blown away in a tempest. Since then, Russia, Britain, Greece and, always, Turkey, have taken an interest. Even today, Britain has an important listening post for the Middle East there, 60,000 expatriates, 3,500 troops in our sovereign bases and a continuing role as a guarantor power. Cypriots still drive on the left.Lord Salisbury, who won control of Cyprus for Britain from Turkey in 1878, once sent an envoy there. People complained that the man knew neither Greek nor Turkish. Good, said Salisbury, then he will hear fewer lies.That is the authentic tone of an imperial power. Today that power is Germany. We have heard enough lies, the Germans are saying haughtily to the Cypriots, now shut up and do what we want. Yesterday, Angela Merkel, the German Chancellor, ordered that Cyprus must realise that its business model is dead.It is hard to tell whether this was true before she said it. Some argue that the problems in Cypriot banking were hugely exaggerated by the countrys outgoing Communist government for electoral reasons. But this has become irrelevant. If the business model was not dead before the intervention of Brussels, Frankfurt, Berlin and the IMF, it is now. No one with any choice in the matter will want to put his money in a Cypriot bank any more.This now-dead business model supported banking assets worth eight times more than the countrys GDP, so its demise will hurt for a long time. If you are an independent country, even a small one, you can recover from economic shocks surprisingly quickly. Look at Iceland, which, like Cyprus, was awash with Russian money, but, unlike Cyprus, is not in the eurozone. It ended up, when its banks collapsed, with each Icelander theoretically on the hook for an average of $330,000. It decided that, after all, it preferred fishing to banking; it had its own currency. Now it is back on the way to economic health. No such luck for Cyprus. From now on, it will be told what to do by the nations and organisations into whose hands it seems about to surrender itself. It cannot make decisions for its own good. It is a tiny, far-flung, vulnerable part of the new German Europe.So let us look at this question not from an economic but an imperial point of view. One problem of imperial rule is that it can be worse for the satellites of the empire if the centre is democratic. A benign despot can at least take a long view about the welfare of his fiefdom. Elected rulers usually cannot. Television footage this week has been of weeping, angry crowds in Nicosia and Limassol, but the crowds that matter are the ones that have not taken to the streets in Berlin or Munich or Hamburg. They get their next vote in the German general election in September. They dislike shelling out for what they see as feckless Mediterraneans: they detest the idea of doing so for what they see as crooked Russians. The conflict between Teuton and Slav has never ceased. Mrs Merkels policy for Cyprus has to be constructed round what her Teutons want.It is another feature of democratic regimes that they are instinctively uncomfortable with imperial pretensions; so they seek the moral high ground, like a mountaineer who just keeps climbing higher when hes lost in the fog. We British liked to think that we were bringing civilisation and the rule of law to our colonies. The Americans have tended to deny an imperial role altogether and talk about safeguarding democracy.Now it is the Germans turn to exercise an imperium. Their re-entry into the comity of nations has been based on the idea that they are peaceful, law-respecting, internationalist, politically vegetarian. They support an ever-closer European Union because they want to be a European Germany to avoid a German Europe. They are perfectly genuine about wishing to overcome what is euphemistically called the problem of history. So they are obsessed with the importance of rules, of obeying them and being seen to obey them. They have been good boys, and by doing so, they have prospered mightily.But as they have grown stronger, their love of rules has turned into an instrument of their power. We are good European citizens, the Germans argue, and we have done well. So the answer is for everyone in the eurozone to behave just like us and they will do well too. One size must fit all, and that size is made in Germany. What the Germans leave out of account is that the single currency which, for them, is artificially low in international value is, for most of the rest of the eurozone, punitively high. What helps them crushes others. After victory in 1945, Churchill broadcast that Germany lies prostrate before us. Today, most of southern Europe lies prostrate before Germany.Mrs Merkel does not see it this way, but if she were to impose upon her own country the levels of unemployment which her eurozone policies inflict upon Spain or Greece or Italy, she would be out of office tomorrow. It is in the nature of imperial power that it is very much slower to feel the pain of those it rules at a distance than that of its own people. That is why its colonial subjects tend to dislike it, even when it is well-intentioned and orderly.By this point, many people, especially Germans, will be furiously objecting to my line of argument. This is not imperialism, they will say, this is a new concept of doing things called the European Union. The eurozone is on its way, they go on, to the safe harbour of a banking union and a fiscal union, to a United States of Europe in all but name. Then all will have equal rights and equal protection. To get this union right, though, we mustnt have legacy debts: these problems of transition are tough, but if they are firmly dealt with, all will be well.And possibly, one distant day, it will be. Possibly, just as people all over the known world could once say Civis Romanus sum (I am a Roman citizen), so they will be able to say, I am a European, and know that they are safe and free under the blue flag with its golden stars. It may be for that reason that the eurozone decision-makers decided to make an example of Cyprus. They knew that it was puny. They believed, probably correctly, that it would have to obey. They hoped to show the world, which doubts, that they mean what they say.But the exertion of such power is a very ugly thing. When you see it exerted you also see who is accorded respect and who isnt. In this case, ordinary depositors have been disrespected and parliamentary processes have been bullied into giving the right answer. Cyprus is capitulating not out of euro-patriotism, but out of fear. This is not European solidarity but coercion.In all this long euro-crisis, Britain has rightly held aloof, but at the same time urged the eurozone to deepen and strengthen itself. This is inconsistent reasoning. If tiny Cyprus can be so much trouble in building the great euro-Empire, what does that say about the likely harmony of the ultimate whole? |

Michael Hudson: Strķšiš gegn Ķslandi
Michael Hudson: Strķšiš gegn Ķslandi.Fyrst birt ķ Fréttablašinu 04. aprķl 2009.Michael Hudson.Ķsland hefur oršiš fyrir įrįs - ekki hernašarįrįs, heldur fjįrmįlaįrįs. Afleišingarnar eru jafn banvęnar žrįtt fyrir žaš. Fleiri verša veikir, lifa ķ örvęntingu og deyja fyrir aldur fram ef žjóšin neitar ekki aš greiša til baka megniš af žeim lįnum sem prangaš hefur veriš inn į hana į sķšustu įtta įrum. En leišin til bjargar er žyrnum strįš. Voldugir skuldunautar į borš viš Bandarķkin og Bretland munu siga įróšursmeisturum sķnum, sem og Alžjóšagjaldeyrissjóšnum og Alžjóšabankanum į Ķslendinga og krefjast žess aš žeir verši hnepptir ķ skuldafangelsi meš žvķ aš žvinga žį til aš greiša skuldir sem žessar žjóšir myndu aldrei greiša sjįlfar.Til aš komast śt śr skuldafeninu verša Ķslendingar aš įtta sig į hvers konar efnahagsįstand sjįlfseyšingar Ķslendskir bankamenn hafa skapaš. Žrįtt fyrir aš hafa eytt nęrri hįlfri öld ķ aš rannsaka žjóšir ķ erfišri skuldastöšu hef ég sjaldan eša aldrei séš neitt ķ lķkingu viš įstandiš į Ķslandi. Hér į landi hafa bankarnir steypt sér ķ svo grķšarlegar skuldir aš veršgildi krónunnar mun rżrna til frambśšar og leiša af sér veršbólgu nęstu įratugina.Skuldaleikurinn.Ķ gegnum söguna hafa skuldugar žjóšir oftast fariš žį leiš aš losa sig viš skuldirnar meš hjįlp veršbólgu, ž.e. borgaš skuldirnar meš ódżrum peningum". Rķkisstjórnir prenta peninga og višhalda fjįrlagahalla til žess aš hękka veršlag og žannig er meira fjįrmagn ķ boši, en vöruframboš óbreytt. Žessi veršbólga og gengisfall minnka skuldabyršina svo framarlega sem laun og ašrar tekjur hękka samhliša.Ķsland hefur snśiš žessari lausn į hvolf. Ķ staš žess aš aušvelda hina hefšbundnu skuldaleišréttingu hefur veriš sköpuš paradķs lįnardrottna og hinni sķgildu flóttaleiš skuldsettra žjóša lokaš. Žjóšin hefur fundiš leiš til aš steypa sér ķ skuldir meš hjįlp veršbólgunnar, ķ staš žess aš vinna sig śr žeim meš henni. Meš verštryggingu skulda hefur Ķsland komiš upp einstöku kerfi fyrir banka og ašra lįnadrottna sem stóreykur tekjur žeirra af lįnastarfsemi, į kostnaš launa og tekna af raunverulegri atvinnustarfsemi.Žaš er ešlilegt aš fólk greiši lįn sem tekin hafa veriš į heišarlegan hįtt. Venjulega er gert rįš fyrir aš fólk taki lįn - og bankar lįni - til vęnlegra fjįrfestinga, sem skili arši sem sķšan er hęgt aš nżta til aš greiša lįniš til baka auk vaxta. Žannig hafa bankar starfaš um aldarašir og žannig hefur oršiš til ķmynd hins varkįra bankamanns sem neitar fjölmörgum žeirra sem sękjast eftir lįnum frį honum.Žannig var žaš aš minnsta kosti einu sinni. Fįir sįu fyrir sér aš ašgangur aš lįnsfé yrši svo greišur aš žau vanskil sem viš sjįum ķ dag vęru óhjįkvęmileg. Ķ Bandarķkjunum eru žannig žrišjungur žeirra sem tóku hśsnęšislįn meš neikvęša eiginfjįrstöšu. Žaš žżšir aš lįnin eru oršin hęrri en virši eignanna sem žau hvķla į.Lausn nżfrjįlshyggjunnar į žessu vandamįli er aš selja eignir meš grķšarlegum afföllum til alžjóšlegra aršręningja og brjóta nišur félagslegt kerfi žjóša, einmitt žegar žęr žurfa mest į žvķ aš halda. Žetta gildir žó ašeins um litlu žjóširnar. Žęr žjóšir sem hęst hrópa į Ķslendinga aš greiša lįn spįkaupmannanna eru undanskildar. Žar eru fremstar ķ flokki žęr žjóšir sem eru skuldsettastar, Bandarķkin og Bretland, undir stjórn manna sem dytti aldrei ķ hug aš leggja slķkar byršar į eigin žegna. Um leiš og žessar žjóšir lękka skatta og auka į fjarlagahallann reyna žęr aš kśga peninga śt śr smęrri og veikburša žjóšum, lķkt og žęr stundušu gagnvart Žrišjaheimsrķkjum į 9. og 10. įratug sķšustu aldar.Fjįrmįlastrķšiš.Į sķšustu įrum hefur Ķsland oršiš fyrir įrįsum alžjóšlegra lįnadrottna. Žeir hafa nįš aš sannfęra hóp lukkuriddara um aš leišin til aušs og hagvaxtar vęri ķ skuldsetningu, en ekki rįšdeild. Bankar og spįkaupmenn ķ innsta hring alžjóšafjįrmįlakerfisins höfšu žaš aš meginstarfi aš selja skuldir og žurftu aš bśa sig undir žaš efnahagslega hrun sem sagan sżnir aš fylgi óhjįkvęmilega ķ kjölfar slķkrar ofurskuldsetningar. Žaš geršu žeir meš žvķ aš sį fręjum hugmyndafręši sem leit į kešjuverkandi skuldsetningu sem góša hagstjórn.Stefna stjórnvalda ķ Bandarķkjunum er aš koma į stöšugleika og foršast kreppu meš žvķ aš fęra nišur skuldir til jafns viš lękkandi markašsverš, en ekki sķšur aš nį greišslubyrši hśsnęšislįna nišur į višrįšanlegt stig, ž.e. innan viš 32% af tekjum heimilanna. Ķ öšrum löndum er einnig veriš aš fęra nišur skuldir svo fólk og fyrirtęki geti stašiš ķ skilum. Į Ķslandi er verštryggingin hins vegar aš belgja śt skuldir og steypa hśseigendum ķ neikvęša eiginfjįrstöšu.Žaš fyrsta sem Ķslendingar verša aš gera er aš įtta sig į aš landiš hefur oršiš fyrir efnahagslegri įrįs śtlendinga, sem studdir voru af Ķslendskum bankamönnum. Til aš hafa sigur reyndu žessir lįnadrottnar aš sannfęra žjóšina um aš skuldir vęru framleišsluhvetjandi og aš hagkerfiš efldist, žar sem veršmęti žess ykist - ž.e. eignir yxu umfram skuldir. Žannig var gert rįš fyrir aš verš myndi aldrei lękka og viš myndum aldrei standa eftir meš skuldirnar einar og neikvęša eiginfjįrstöšu. Žeir geršu sitt besta til aš sannfęra žjóšina um aš žaš vęri slys sem geršist ašeins einu sinni į öld eša svo, en ekki óhjįkvęmileg afleišing grķšarlegrar skuldsetningar meš samsettum vöxtum įn tekjuaukningar sem stęši undir vaxtagreišslum.Žessari hugmyndafręši er nś fylgt eftir meš žvķ aš telja Ķslendskum almenningi trś um aš honum standi ekkert annaš til boša en aš borga skuldirnar sem örfįir einstaklingar hafa steypt sér ķ, skuldir sem safna vöxtum aš öšrum kosti. Žjóšin žarf einfaldlega aš gera sér grein fyrir žvķ aš žęr skuldir sem krafist er aš hśn greiši, eru meiri en hśn getur rįšiš viš.Hvernig eiga Ķslendingar aš borga?Ķslendingar verša aš gera sér grein fyrir žvķ fyrr en seinna aš ekki er hęgt aš greiša žessar skuldir og um leiš halda uppi sanngjörnu samfélagi. Óhjįkvęmilegt er aš afskrifa skuldir į einhvern hįtt. Hversu mikiš er ekki hęgt aš segja til um fyrr en vitaš er hver skuldar hverjum og hversu mikiš. En Ķsland er sjįlfstętt rķki og getur sett hver žau efnahagslög sem žvķ hentar, svo framarlega sem žau mismuna ekki fólki eftir žjóšerni.Alžjóšlegir lįnadrottnar munu mótmęla haršlega. Markmiš žeirra er aš halda fjįrmįlaheiminum utan alžjóšalaga og gera innheimtu skulda óhįša lżšręšislegum reglum. Žannig reyna alžjóšlegar fjįrmįlastofnanir aš hindra stjórnvöld ķ aš koma böndum į óhefta lįnastarfsemi og eignaupptöku. Mįlpķpur fjįrmagnseigenda saka žannig stjórnvöld um aš hefta hinn frjįlsa markaš, žegar žau eru ķ raun eina afliš sem getur komiš ķ veg fyrir aš heilu žjóširnar verši hnepptar ķ skuldafangelsi.Meš žvķ aš fara fram į greiningu į žvķ hver skuldar hverjum hvaš getur Ķsland komiš boltanum ķ fang lįnadrottnanna og lįtiš žeim eftir aš svara žvķ hvernig ķ ósköpunum Ķslendingar eigi aš fara aš žvķ aš borga og hverjar efnahagslegar afleišingar žess verši. Hvernig geta Ķslendingar borgaš į nęstu įrum įn žess aš landsmenn tapi unnvörpum eignum sķnum og félagslega kerfiš verši lagt ķ rśst? Hvernig geta Ķslendingar greitt skuldir sķnar įn žess aš keyra sig ķ žrot, leggja nišur žjóšfélag félagslegs jafnréttis og koma hér į samfélagi örfįrra ofurrķkra lįnadrottna og svo örsnaušs almennings? Žaš er raunveruleg hętta į aš hér myndist nż stétt fjįrmagnseigenda sem stjórna muni landinu nęstu öldina eša svo.Ķslendingar hafa veriš prettašir. Eiga žeir aš lķta į žaš sem skyldu sķna aš greiša žjóšum sem hafa ekki ķ hyggju aš greiša nokkurn tķma sķnar eigin skuldir? Svo lįnadrottnar fįi greitt žurfa žeir aš sannfęra skuldunauta sķna um aš žeir geti ķ raun og veru borgaš, ž.e. borgaš įn žess aš leggja samfélagiš ķ rśst, selja aušlindir sķnar eša koma į grķšarlegri stéttaskiptingu fjįrmagnseigenda og skuldara.Lįnin eša lķfiš?Ķslendingar verša aš lķta til langs tķma. Hvernig į efnahagskerfiš aš lifa af og vaxa til framtķšar? Verštryggingu lįna veršur aš afnema. Gjaldeyrislįn veršur aš fęra yfir ķ krónur į lįgum, óverštryggšum vöxtum eša afskrifa aš hluta eša öllu leyti. Markmišiš į aš vera aš fella nišur skuldir sem valda efnahagslegu tjóni.Leišarljósiš er heilbrigt efnahagskerfi ķ heild sinni. Žeir sem heimta mest eru ekki žeir sem skulda mest, heldur žeir sem hafa lįnaš mest. Markmiš žeirra er aš tryggja völd sķn ķ samfélaginu. Umfram allt vilja žeir hįmarka vald skulda umfram veršmętasköpun. Žess vegna er verštrygging lįna notuš til aš tryggja aš bankarnir hagnist į hruni efnahagslķfsins, en ekki almenningur, sem greiša žarf jafnt skuldirnar sem og kostnašinn af hękkandi veršlagi og hruni krónunnar. Lįnadrottnar um allan heim eru ķ óša önn aš fęra nišur skuldir ķ takt viš lękkandi fasteignaverš. Į Ķslandi hafa bankarnir hins vegar fengiš aš hękka skuldabyršina um 14% į sķšasta įri, į mešan fasteignaverš hefur lękkaš um 21%! Žvķ verra sem efnahagsįstandiš er, žvķ sterkari eru lįnveitendurnir. Žetta er įvķsun į efnahagslegt sjįlfsmorš žar sem dżpkandi kreppa hneppir ę fleiri ķ skuldafangelsi.Ķsland getur tekiš forystu og oršiš fyrirmynd annarra žjóša ķ efnahagslegu jafnrétti. Aldrei hefur veriš betra tękifęri til aš taka afstöšu til žess um hvaš standa į vörš - óyfirstķganlegar skuldir eša framtķš Ķslendsks samfélags? Munu stjórnvöld verja žegna sķna fyrir afętum fjįrmįlaheimsins, eša munu žau fęra žeim Ķslendska hagkerfiš į silfurfati? Žaš er spurningin sem Ķslendsk stjórnvöld verša aš svara. |

Landsfundur Sjįlfstęšisflokks sem markaši tķmamót - fastgengi ķ augsżn
Landsfundur Sjįlfstęšisflokks sem markaši tķmamót - fastgengi ķ augsżn.Fyrst birt ķ Morgunblašinu 15. marz 2013.Loftur Altice Žorsteinsson.Sjįlfstęšisflokkur hefur tekiš afgerandi forustu, viš mótun nytsamlegrar peningastefnu fyrir Ķsland. Į Landsfundi flokksins ķ lok febrśar var samžykkt aš stefna aš »alvöru fastgengi« sem ekki veršur framkvęmt nema meš »reglu-bundinni peningastefnu«. Žessi peningastefna stöšvar veršbólguna, gerir verštryggingu óžarfa, bręšir snjóhengjuna, slķtur gjaldeyrishöftin og leysir mörg önnur vandamįl.Auk Sjįlfstęšisflokks, hafa einungis Hęgri gręnir haft dug til aš leggja ęrlega vinnu ķ mótun peningastefnu. Vinstri gręnir og Framsóknarflokkur skila algerlega aušu, en Samfylking sér ekkert nema žjónkun viš Evrópusambandiš, žótt fyrir liggi aš 70% žjóšarinnar hafnar hugmyndum hennar um feigšarflan til Brussel. Landsfundur Sjįlfstęšisflokks samžykkti eftirfarandi įlyktanir, varšandi peningastefnu:
Mikilvęgt er aš skilja, aš fastgengi veršur ekki komiš į undir stjórn Sešlabanka, hann veršur aš leggja nišur ķ nśverandi mynd. Įlyktun landsfundarins um žaš efni er žvķ mikilvęg. Fastgengi er annaš hvort fólgiš ķ upptöku erlends gjaldmišils, eša sett er į fót myntrįš sem notar erlendan gjaldmišil sem stošmynt. Góš lausn er aš taka fyrst upp erlendan gjaldmišil og žaš er hęgt aš gera į einni viku og setja į fót myntrįš 12 mįnušum sķšar. Öll skref ķ žessu ferli eru žekkt og kosta hvorki mikla peninga né eru tęknilega erfiš.Landsmenn eru oršnir leišir į »torgreindri peningastefnu« .Hjį Efnahags- og višskiptanefnd Sjįlfstęšisflokks liggja fyrir nįkvęmar tillögur um hvernig śtfęra skal fastgengis-stefnuna. Žęr tillögur nefndarinnar, sem lagšar voru fyrir landsfundinn, er hęgt aš lesa hér:http://samstada-thjodar.blog.is/blog/samstada-thjodar/entry/1284624/Sjįlfstęšismenn, nś er bara aš hvetja forustu flokksins til dįša.Trśveršugar lausnir fyrir heimili og fyrirtęki veršur ašalmįl kosninganna og žar sem peningastefna Sjįlfstęšisflokks leysir mörg vandamįl samtķmis, mun gengi flokksins rįšast af kynningu į henni. Mikilvęgt er aš andmęla af įkvešni žeim aumkunarveršu hugmyndum um peningastefnu sem rķkisstjórnar-flokkarnir bjóša uppį. Į landsfundi Samfylkingar var samžykkt:
Žetta er varla hęgt aš nefna peningastefnu, en samžykkt Vinstri gręnna į žeirra sķšasta landsfundi, er stašfesting žess aš žessir flokkar mega ekki koma nįlęgt eflahagsmįlum žjóšarinnar:
Telja veršur til mikilla tķšinda, aš Sjįlfstęšisflokkur hefur tekiš forustu um mótun žjóšhollrar peningastefnu fyrir Ķsland. Ķ nęr 100 įr hefur »torgreinda peningastefnan« valdiš öllum almenningi ómęldum skaša. Flotgengi hefur veriš notaš kerfisbundiš til aš fęra fjįrmuni frį almenningi til höfšingjastéttarinnar. Aukaafuršir žessarar stefnu eru reglubundnar gengisfellingar, višvarandi veršbólga, eignabruni og hękkanir hśsnęšisskulda. Aš auki bżr žjóšin nśna viš gjaldeyrishöft og yfirvofandi snjóhengju erlendra hręgamma-sjóša, sem rekja mį beint til peningastefnunnar.Upptaka fastgengis er ekki vandasamt eša kostnašarsamt, žótt ślfar og hręgammar hamist viš aš hręša landslżš. Žvert į móti er aušvelt aš finna sérfręšinga, sem vķša um heim hafa stjórnaš vel heppnašri upptöku reglu-bundinnar peningastefnu. Kostnašur rķkissins veršur ekki meiri en 10-50 milljaršar króna, eftir žvķ hvaša śtfęrsla er valin. Meš nżgjum gjaldmišli, til dęmis Rķkisdal, veršur hęgt aš hlęgja aš »Snjóhengjunni ógurlegu« sem įsamt »Icesave-draugnum« verša ęvarandi bautasteinar vanhęfrar rķkisstjórnar.
Trśveršugar lausnir fyrir heimili og fyrirtękiveršur ašalmįl kosninganna ogpeningastefna Sjįlfstęšisflokks leysir mörg vandamįl samtķmis. |

Why Iceland is not responsible for Icesave
Why Iceland is not responsible for Icesave.Fyrst birt hjį DutchNews 14. aprķl 2011.Loftur Altice Žorsteinsson.For more than two years Britain and the Netherlands have been trying hard to force the people of Iceland to pay Icesave claims which are without any legal foundation. The EEA legislation and directives of the EU, as well as deposit insurance laws of these states have been disregarded in these attempts. Why is it that governments of Britain and the Netherlands refuse to use legal means to collect their claims, if they believe that they have any ?On 09th April 2011 a referendum was held in Iceland on whether to accept a humiliating settlement with Britain and the Netherland. This was the second referendum which was called in order to force the Icesave claims onto the people. For the second time these claims were refused because there are no legal bases for such claims. Now the case may finally be settled in a court of law, like is the custom of civilised peoples.Icesave was a trading name of Landsbanki Islands HF. It was authorised to operate in Britain and the Netherlands by Financial Services Authorities of these states and one of the conditions which it had to meet was full deposit insurance. If this condition had not been met, Landsbanki would never have obtained its licence to operate the Icesave accounts.According to regulations in Britain and the Netherlands, incoming EEA banks should obtain deposit cover with a local Deposit Guarantee Scheme. If these banks have a home state cover, they may receive some unspecified discount off the full fee that they would otherwise pay. The amount of any discount is recoverable from the other members of the incoming EEA firm's sub-class.Therefore Landsbanki Islands HF did in fact have a double insurance cover for the EU minimum amount of EUR 20.887. When the bank collapsed, the deposit guarantee scheme FSCS in Britain and DNB in the Netherlands bought claims from all eligible holders of Icesave accounts, to the specified limits in these states. These claims were made priority claims by the emergency law set by Alžingi of Iceland. These claims are not the responsibility of the Icelandic people and not even the deposit guarantee scheme in Iceland.Furthermore, I would like to draw attention to the double parts of the emergency law of 06th October 2008. One part dealt with establishment of new banks in order to secure the function of the economic system of Iceland. The other part of the emergency law made foreign holders of Icesave accounts into priority claimants. These were the only effects of the emergency law.The governments of Britain and the Netherlands took advantage of the latter part of the emergency law by raising the level of deposit protection, in Britain from GBP 35.000 to GBP 50.000 and in the Netherlands from EUR 40.000 to EUR 100.000. Besides this doing the treasuries of these states paid the rest of the Icesave account claims, with the backing of the Icelandic emergency law.Thus the fact is that claims from Britain and the Netherlands have priority rights and will collect substantial sums of money from the Landsbanki Islands estate. In all likelihood, the amounts paid to them will come to the equivalent of USD 7-9 billion, the first payment taking place within a few months. The Icesave dispute has so far centred on interest payments and the interpretation of the European Unions regulations. Can we hope for a more balanced approach in the future ?The thanks that Iceland received from these NATO allies and long standing friends, for granting their claims a priority status, was in form of the British anti-terror legislation against all Icelandic interests in Britain. Also Britain and the Netherlands engaged in outright economic warfare with Iceland, preventing the country access to foreign loans from such international organizations as the IMF and EIB. On top of that treatment came the totally illegal Icesave demands.For having secured British and Dutch claims to the Landsbanki estate, Iceland thus received a special treatment, which will be long remembered. What do you need enemies for if you have such friends ? |

Vilja Ķslendingar stjórnarform »sem ekki ętti sinn lķka į Vesturlöndum«
Vilja Ķslendingar stjórnarform »sem ekki ętti sinn lķka į Vesturlöndum«Fyrst birt ķ Morgunblašinu 11. marz 2013.Loftur Altice Žorsteinsson.Eitt heldsta įhugamįl Samfylkingar er aš afnema lżšveldi/žjóšveldi į Ķslandi og formfesta höfšingjaveldi ķ žess staš, til aš žóknast hagsmunum Evrópskra nżlenduvelda. Žessir kjölturakkar Evrópusambandsins virša hvorki lög landsins né almennar sišareglur ķ samskiptum manna. Samfylkingin hefur komiš žessu įhugamįli žaš langt įleišis, aš fyrir Alžingi liggur lagafrumvarp um nżgja stjórnarskrį, sem er svo illa unniš aš er flutningsmönnum til hįšungar. Žaš er žó miklu verra, aš žessi drög aš nżrri stjórnarskrį formfesta höfšingjaveldi ķ landinu og gera žannig rįš fyrir aš almenningur afsali sér fullveldisréttindum sķnum.Žótt Charles-Louis Montesquieu (1689-1755) sé tvisvar nefndur į nafn ķ greinargerš meš lagafrumvarpinu, er ljóst aš hans er einungis getiš til aš varpa ryki ķ auga almennings. Raunar er mikilvęgum žįttum lżšveldisins varpaš fyrir róša meš tali um »aš samfélagiš hafi žróast mjög mikiš frį dögum Montesquieu og fjölmišlar um įrabil veriš nefndir fjórša valdiš, auk žess sem fjįrmagni fylgi einnig óneitanlegt vald«. Svona umręša um stjórnarform rķkisins bendir annaš hvort til gešveilu flutningsmanna, eša eindregins vilja til aš afvegaleiša umręšuna. Varla hefur hiš ólöglega stjórnlagarįš hugleitt aš fjölmišlum og fjįrmagnseigendum vęri veitt stjórnarskrįrbundin aškoma aš rķkisvaldinu.Hugmyndir um žingręši er ógn viš fullveldisréttindi žjóšarinnar.Annars er Samfylkingin ekkert aš fela fyrirętlanir sķnar, um aš koma į höfšingjaveldi. Ķ greinargeršinni kemur oršiš »žingręši« fyrir 90 sinnum, en eins og menn vita er žetta dulnefni notaš fyrir höfšingjaveldi. Lykórgos, sem samdi stjórnarskrį Spörtu fyrir um 2900 įrum, hefši gefiš žessu frumvarpi lįga einkun. Höfšingjaveldi (óligarxķa) var stęrsta ógnin viš hugsjónir Spartverja um jafnrétti og lżšręši. Žetta skildu lķka žeir sem sömdu stjórnarskrįr Bandarķkjanna 1787 og Franklands 1792. Žeim sem beygšu sig ķ duftiš fyrir Icesave-kśguninni, er aušvitaš trśandi til allra óžrifaverka.Sś umręša sem fariš hefur fram um frumvarpiš, gefur almenningi innsżn ķ fįtęklegan hugarheim Samfylkingarinnar. Stjórnarskrį er fyrst og sķšast forskrift aš stjórnkerfi rķkisins, fyrirmęli um žaš hvaša stofnanir fara meš löggjafarvald, framkvęmdavald og dómsvald. Mikilvęgast er žó aš skżrt komi fram hver fer meš fullveldi rķkisins og varla getur žaš fariš fram hjį nokkrum manni, aš ķ lżšveldi fer almenningur meš fullveldisréttinn, hvorki einvaldur né einhver hópur höfšingja. Stjórnarskį lżšveldis veršur einnig aš svara žvķ, hvaša fullveldisréttindi almenningur ętlar aš fara meš sjįlfur og hvaša réttindi eru af hagkvęmni-įstęšum falin öšrum ašilum.Stjórnarskrį Samfylkingar er atlaga aš lżšveldi į Ķslandi.Yfirstandandi atlaga aš Lżšveldinu hófst į įrinu 2010 meš svonefndum žjóšfundi. Į fundinum leitušust handvaldir fulltrśar viš aš skilja handvalin hugtök ķ Ķslendskri tungu. Žetta starf gekk alveg bęrilega, nema hvaš žau hugtök sem varša mismunandi stjórnarform rķkja voru ekki til umręšu. Žrjś žśsund įra saga lżšvelda og annara stjórnarforma var ekki til umręšu og žį ekki heldur tilurš og žróun lżšvelda sķšustu 200 įrin. Sannast sagna var žjóšfundurinn 2010 gagnlaus samkvęmisleikur. Sś frumvinna sem breyting stjórnarskrįr krefst, hefur ekki ennžį veriš framkvęmd.Žjóšfundurinn var žó einungis inngangur aš leikhśsi fįrįnleikans. Į įrinu 2010 var einnig kosiš til svonefnds Stjórnlagažings. Įgallar į skipulagi og framkvęmd kosninganna voru slķkir aš Hęstiréttur taldi žęr ógildar. Auk žeirra atriša sem kęrš voru til Hęstiréttar, var jafnréttisįkvęši Stjórnarskrįrinnar (65.grein) einnig brotiš og ólżšręšislega stašiš aš kosningunni, žvķ aš Samfylkingin rak kosningabarįttu eins og um listakosningu vęri aš ręša. Į daginn kom, aš nęr allir sem hlutu kosningu voru stušningsmenn Samfylkingarinnar.Forseti Lżšveldisins og fręšimenn fordęmda tilraun Samfylkingar.Til aš bķta höfušiš af skömminni, var nišurstaša Hęstaréttar aš engu virt, heldur skipaši Samfylkingin sitt fólk ķ svonefnt Stjórnlagarįš, meš atkvęšum minnihluta Alžingismanna. Fręšimenn hafa fordęmt žau óvöndušu vinnubrögš sem višhöfš hafa veriš viš samningu fyrirliggjandi stjórnarskrįr Samfylkingarinnar. Žetta aumkunarverša plagg mun hljóta sinn sess į ruslahaug sögunnar.Ķ nżįrsįvarpi sķnu fjallaši forseti Lżšveldisins um frumvarp Samfylkingar aš nżrri stjornarskrį. Žar benti hann į, aš frumvarpiš myndi skapa: »allt annaš stjórnkerfi en viš höfum bśiš aš frį lżšveldisstofnun; yrši tilraun um stjórnkerfi sem ętti sér engan lķka į Vesturlöndum«. Žetta er rétt mat hjį forsetanum. Samfylkingin er vitfirrtur flokkur, sem ekki er į vetur setjandi. Samfylkingin lagšist hundflöt fyrir Icesave-kśgun nżlenduveldanna og hefur forgöngu um aš Ķsland verši innlimaš ķ Evrópusambandiš. Allur ferill Samfylkingar og forvera hennar Alžżšuflokks, er varšašur žjóšsvikum.Sannast sagna var žjóšfundurinn 2010 gagnlaus samkvęmisleikur.Sś frumvinna sem breyting stjórnarskrįr krefst,hefur ekki ennžį veriš framkvęmd. |
