Iceland banks write off debts at ceo´s --- looks like 2007 has arrived in Iceland

Looks like that the good old days have arrived in Iceland.
Members of parliament making laws ,that give them free things,like eyeglasses ( not cheap in Iceland ) hearing aids ( quite expensive in Iceland ) and more.

And banks are now starting to write off big debts,at big companys.
Þorgeir Baldursson ,who was in the board of Landsbanki before the banking crash in 2008, got 5 billion kronas debt written off at Landsbanki and Arion Bank.

And one of the big newspapers in Iceland , mbl.is ,got written off 944 million kronas,at Islandsbank.
The one of two editors at mbl.is , is former Prime minister and CEO of the CEntral Bank before and during the banking crisis, is mr. David Oddson.

In the board at Islandsbank,is mr. Friðrik Sophusson, and he was a minister in the goverment when mr. David Oddson was prime minister.
So everything is doing well in Iceland , and the public is still paying.

And according to Transparancy International ---- there is not much corruption in Iceland , Interesting

Is corruption going public in Iceland --- Strange things in the Icelandic parliament

The Icelandic parliament is an interesting place .
There members of parliament argue about everything, the fishing quota system,joining the EU and so on .
But when it comes to getting more in your pockets ,then they are all good friends .
Just before parliament took its summer vacation , on bill was passed,silently and everybody who was in parliament - agreed on it .

And in this bill , they agreed on letting the tax payers pay for their , eyeglasses,hearing aids,cancer search,physical excersise , and more .

What more means - nobody knows - it could be a dentist, it could be a free car and so on .

Eyeglasses and hearing aids in Iceland are not cheap - they are quite expensive.

So you can see , that the members of the Icelandic parliament know how to get more - and how to pay for it .
Of course you let the tax payer pay for it .
There is no respect for members of the Icelandic parliament

A few years ago ,the public in Iceland protested the corruption in the banking and political system.
And as you can see on my videos ,people where angry.
But now - looks like people have forgotten what happened in 2008 .
