No plans for government crisis meeting before Christmas

The government parties have agreed to try to patch up their differences following yesterday’s near collapse.

So says Prime Minister Bárður á Steig Nielsen after repeated calls from Fólkaflokkurin and Miðflokkurin for him to speak publicly about the government situation.

He says it would be in everyone’s best interest to step back for a few days and reflect on yesterday’s events.
