Action in support of EU membership held in Iceland

The biggest protests action since the financial crisis of 2008 has been held in the capital of Iceland Reykjavik. About seven thousand people protested against the government’s decision to refuse from the EU membership, BBC reports.

The government has no right to stop the integration process, leader of the country’s biggest opposition party Árni Páll Árnason said. The mandate for the application was given to the Cabinet by the Parliament in 2009, he reminded.
