Iceland’s rejection of renewed EU accession talks is 'a blow to the EU,' expert says

🗳 Icelanders voted 52.8% against restarting EU accession negotiations suspended for more than a decade, while 47.2% backed the proposal in an Aug. 29 referendum

🗣 Expert Marianne Riddervold says the 'no' campaign turned the procedural vote into a wider debate over EU membership, while the 'yes' campaign was not really prepared for it
