Iceland's new interim government will change its constitution to allow the crisis-hit country to join the EU after snap elections are held in April, one of the coalition parties said.
"We will change the constitution so that it will be possible to join the EU in the next (government) term without the delay of changing the constitution then," Social Democratic Party spokesman Arni Pall Arnason said. A change to Iceland's constitution requires dissolving parliament and calling new elections, something the government that took power late Sunday has said it hopes to do on April 25. The new left-wing government took power on Sunday after the previous coalition resigned on January 26 following months of increasingly violent protests over the country's dire economic situation.
