Reykjavík Grapevine - 08.04.2016, Blaðsíða 22
MADE IN ICELAND www.jswatch.com With his legendary concentration and 45 years of experience our Master Watchmaker ensures that we take our waterproofing rather seriously. Gilbert O. Gudjonsson, our Master Watchmaker and renowned craftsman, inspects every single timepiece before it leaves our workshop. “It’s been surreal. This has been outrageous. What I’d like to see in a uto- pian world is that if you own over 50 or 100 million krónur, you shouldn’t be in politics. I thought that the ‘bad guy’ politicians were doing what they’re doing be- cause of their philosophy and doctrine—following their own passion. But now we know, it’s all about money for these guys. It’s just busi- ness. And it’s easy to pass a law to make more money, but the other parties in Ice- land are politicians because it’s their calling. And when people are doing something out of passion, and a feeling for the greater good—that’s something else completely.” “We want an election as soon as possible. I’ve heard to- day that we’ll have it in the autumn, but that’s too long. I want it as soon as pos- sible. That’s the main task of the nation—to get a fair government that will build on humanistic values. We need to restructure things, rein- vigorate our healthcare and education system. And that is just not on this government’s agenda.” “I want to see not just Sig- mundur but also Bjarni Ben resign. Bjarni gave an inter- view on Kastljós last night, and he was lying straight into Helgi Seljan’s face—it’s just scary how good he is at seeming like he’s talking straight. And how Sigmundur has been behaving is just crazy. He said the Presi- dent was lying! The events of these last three days have just been ridiculous, and it’s making all of us look ridicu- lous, too.” Benjamin “I want them not to just replace one clown with another.” “My personal opinion is that the President of Ice- land should ask the minority to take control of the ship until we have an election this fall. The majority here has no trust, no momentum— the people don’t want them. We estimate that there were 5000 people at this protest, in the rain, in the middle of the week, with 24 hours of preparation. That states that a new coalition isn’t a solu- tion.” Feature Story: Protestors: What do you want to happen?
