Reykjav\u00edk mayor J\u00f3n Gnarr announced today that he won’t seek reelection, which will bring to an end one of the more colorful political careers in recent memory \ud83d\ude42 I first became familiar with him through his character Georg Bjarnfre\u00f0arson in the Icelandic TV series N\u00e6turvaktin<\/a>, which I watched (with subtitles) when I was getting started learning Icelandic. As far as I can tell, he’s done a decent job as mayor considering he’s really a comedian, which is part of the reason he gave for his deciding not to run again.<\/p>\n
