The love hate relationship between the Independence Party and Jon Asgeir Johannesson’s Baugur gets stranger every day.

The right wing politicians of the Independence Party loves to blame everything that is wrong with Iceland on Jon Asgeir and Baugur. If you believe what they say in the media then you’d deduct that they actually hate the man and his business.

But they love his money. And not just Gudlaugur Thor Thordarson or the party itself. Now DV tells us that in 2006, Gisli Marteinn Baldursson got one million ISK from Baugur when he ran for Reykjavik city council.

Gisli claims he didn’t know about the support because he wanted to separate himself from his fund-raising team.

How peculiar is that? To not want to know who your supporters are?
