Iceland opposition chief to Europe: Don’t meddle in our referendum
Iceland's opposition leader urges European politicians to avoid influencing the country's August 29 referendum on resuming EU membership talks, citing the importance of national decision-making. The referendum will not directly decide EU membership, which would require a second vote, with current polls showing a closely divided public opinion on reopening discussions.
