Klaustur Affair Political scandal in Iceland in 2018

The Klaustur Affair, also known in Iceland as Klaustur Recordings(Klaustursupptökurnar) or Klausturgate was a political affair in Iceland that sparked public debate and protests in Iceland since late November 2018. It was triggered by audio recordings of conversations between Althing Icelandic parliamentarians, which were secretly recorded on 20 November 2018 in Bar Klaustur in Reykjavík and subsequently leaked to the media. The records contain offensive and sexist statements about female members of parliament and revealing the appointment of an ambassador as a political favour.
