RE: Iceland To Hold New Election Due to Prime Minister's Family Support For A Long Term, Convicted, Child Rapist.
I can't believe this, no matter how many times i read it this line hit me in the face ...wrote a letter of recommendation to the government for his friend 'Hjalti Sigurjón Hauksson' to 'have his honor restored' after serving five and a half years for raping his stepdaughter 'almost every day for 12 years from an age of 5'. really? restore his honor? oh come on this father's man should be in jail too serving as a bitch there for the rest of his life.
How in the name of the world can someone think like that?, raping a 5 year old child once (for me) is enough to a lifetime in prison, there is no honor when you think of raping a child. This is horrible, worst than a horror movie.
Look how society reacted to this other monster (i'm talking about the father, sorry, can't think of something else), affected his son career knowing how he (the son, that was i understood) tried to initially hide the author's identity. I'm glad this turned out well, this man's political career is virtually over and his father's honor gone for good.

According to the bbc piece, his father claimed that he just blindly signed the letter and attempted to sneak out of the responsibility.. so he is either extremely foolish, a twisted mind or both.
Any grown person knows that have to read first before sign, no matter what he/she has in front. We are not talking about a legal contract, but a letter anyone can clearly understand.
Yes, I agree - at the very least he signed a letter from a serious criminal without reading it closely!
I was thinking since my last reply, something was missing and figured it out : what detonated this crisis was the intention to hide the identity of his father, because whatever the reason of his signature in the letter the impact could be mitigated by an early public clarification, announce it in their terms and not reacting when the new went out.
By hiding it made him look like corrupt, but if he decides the opposite i's sure we would be seen as an honest public server and the repercussions to his father wouldn't be so hard.
Yes, denial is always the problem and more of us know that now..
