Description

This is the third and final part of my interview with Iceland's youngest President of City Council, Dóra Björt Guðjónsdóttir. If you haven’t listened to part 1 and part 2 yet, I highly recommend that you do. Dóra shines a spotlight on the political scandals, deep seated beliefs and opportunities for positive change in Iceland during those parts.

During this episode, Dóra shares why she became a member of the pirate party, her views on information freedom, the responsibility of politicians to make positive change, the personal political initiatives that she would like to see implemented in Iceland and her favorite Icelandic phrase.



Before the interview starts, I have to include a disclaimer. At the very end of this episode, Dóra uses curse words for her favorite Icelandic phrase. Cursing is not a normal part of this podcast but her phrase ties in perfectly with the reaction to the financial meltdown in Iceland, so it I feel it is appropriate to include it.
The Questions I Asked Reykjavík’s Youngest President of City Council

What attracted you to the pirate party in Iceland?
Do you have any political initiatives or policies that you would personally like to see implemented in Iceland?
How do you keep up with fighting for all of the issues you keep close to your heart when it seems to always be an uphill battle?
What is your favorite Icelandic word or phrase (It can be related to politics but it doesn’t have to be)?
