A new paradigm for a post-imperial world

Declaration of the Movement for a New Republic in Iceland

Iceland Calling

We, the People of the Republic of Iceland in this period of economic turmoil and near national bankruptcy, declare to the International Monetary Fund, to the Central Banks of all our neighbouring countries and to their respective governments, that it is not in the interest of the people of Iceland that our current government receive loans from anyone.

It is precisely because of corruption in government and severe mismanagement of economic and monetary policy, that Iceland is now in such a sad and shameful position. Since we believe that a more politically accountable and civilised government is now crucial in order to ensure an effective implementation of economic recovery and reconstruction, a change has to be made in government to restore trust and credibility, domestically as well as internationally.

We are working hard to press for early elections and are convinced that they will result in a new government followed by a new professional governance structure.

Until then,

Please do not deliver the money.
