Icelandic voters say No to pay off debts
Posted by ac on March 8th, 2010
“Icelanders resoundingly rejected on Saturday a $5.3 billion (£3.5bn) plan to pay off Britain and the Netherlands for debts spawned by the collapse of an Icelandic internet bank at the height of the global financial crisis.
Results returned from around 83,500 ballots – or more than 40 per cent of the total ballots expected – counted so far showed that 93 per cent of voters said No in the referendum, compared to just 1.5 per cent who said Yes.”
