Björn Gíslason
Björn Gíslason is a city council member representing the Independence Party in Reykjavík. He has been at the center of a debate regarding his eligibility to serve on the city's cultural and sports council due to his position as chairman of the board for the sports club Fylkir. Critics argue that his dual roles could create conflicts of interest, particularly concerning oversight of sports facilities funded by the city. Despite facing questions about his suitability, Björn maintains that his experience is vital for smaller municipalities and insists he has always recused himself from discussions related to Fylkir during council meetings.
