- Translation by Icelandic Reddit user Hundasupa. THANK YOU!

She came to the meeting with an open mind and her expectations were, of course, there would be some harmony in the nation. She believes the nation has the same views and many people feel the same. She thinks it’s really coming to the surface right away just as she thought it would. She feel’s like she recognizes faces on every table but maybe that just reminds you how small of a nation we really are and how close we are to each other and maybe it will be easier to come closer together.

The discussions have really been interesting and a lot of variety on my table with very different ideas in separate directions and very interesting discussions and very balanced in them as well. Then there is talk about how well the event was managed and controlled.

I feel that there is much undercurrent, alot of discussions and opinions that would really help if they would be able to reach the government, which is not doing too good and I hope it will get to them. I hope that there will be some strong message that will reach the government.
