For the past 2,5 months our trust in our government has come crumbling down in waves, so to speak. As a matter of fact our trust in human beings is also eroding.
Here is a relatively fresh gossip. And like the person who posted it on his Icelandic blog site wrote, it may be gossip, but it is still worth considering. My experience in the past few weeks is that many of the things that seemed like absurd gossip in the beginning have turned out to be true. And that just blows my mind.
Anyway; many of us wonder why on earth the central bank manager mentioned in a recent post, Davíð Oddsson, has not resigned. Only a few politicians have called for his resignition. At the same time many of us have wondered why none of the politicians involved have resigned.
According to the aforementioned gossip this is a case of blackmail. Davíð Oddsson has proofs of various sorts of less than ethical business conducted by politicians. If they force him out, he threatens to publish this data.
Should any of this be true this also partly explains why the governing politicians sit still. The sooner they step aside, the more likely it will be that their successors will be able to properly investigate the swindle, the fraud, the cheating, the mess, whatever you choose to call it.
In the meanwhile, our foreign currency loan is growing again. I’d be out of here in a second if my patriotic husband would agree to come with me. He is still looking for ways to fix the problem. I think he still has a shred of faith in those in charge.
But speaking of fixing, our car is fine again. This time it was just a small repairment and the guys at the garage said we could “pay next time”. This is happening everywhere these days, this kind of solidarity that us, the normal people who never got around to buying expensive villas in various countries, show each other. And this is very important, in order to hang on to our precious sanity.
