Primele date de la referendumul din Islanda privind negocierile de aderare: Prima răsturnare de situație la numărarea voturilor

Initial results from Iceland's referendum on EU accession negotiations show a narrow lead for the 'no' camp. With 152,000 votes counted, 50.1% oppose the government's proposal, while 49.9% support it. The situation shifted from earlier counts where 'yes' had a slight advantage. A reliable result may not be available until Sunday afternoon. The debate centers on economic issues, including interest rates and fishing rights, with proponents arguing EU membership could stabilize the economy. Opponents fear loss of sovereignty. Prime Minister Kristrun Frostadottir emphasized the importance of the vote, regardless of the outcome.
