108 years – who do you trust?

Icelandic politics have undergone countless transformations over the past decades. Parties have come and gone, extremes have been put forward, and instability has often left its mark on the landscape. But one thing stands out as a pillar in the Icelandic social fabric: the Framsókn party. With a 108-year history, Framsókn is more than just a political party – it is a part of the Icelandic identity built on a foundation of trust, stability, and a vision for the future.

A legacy built on trust

From the beginning, Framsókn has had the guiding principle of working for the people of the country. With strong roots in rural areas and fishing communities, the party has defended the interests of the public, balanced the rights of rural and urban areas, and created a basis for economic growth and welfare. Whatever challenges have arisen, Framsókn has proven that the party supports solutions that work in the real world, not just in words.

We see this in significant reforms in housing, with an increased emphasis on family support and in the party's perseverance in ensuring stability in the economy. When others have lost direction, Framsókn has defended public interests – responsibly and calmly.

Leadership for the future

Despite a historical legacy, Framsókn is not just about looking back. It is the party's desire to utilise experience and intertwine it with innovation that makes it unique. Framsókn works not only for the present but also for future generations. The party's policies on climate issues, digital Iceland, and the development of the healthcare system reflect this vision.

Young people are becoming aware that Framsókn is not only a party of the past but also the party of the future. With progressive leaders who prioritise people's interests above political theatrics, Framsókn is a leading force in Icelandic politics.

Who do you trust?

Do you trust those who come and go with loud noise? Or those who stand firm, even in adversity? Do you trust a party with 108 years of experience building a society?

Choose stability. Choose solutions that work. Choose Framsókn.

This is a question of trust – and the answer has been obvious for 108 years.

Kjartan Helgi Ólafsson occupies the 10th seat on the Framsókn list in the Southwest constituency.
