He was elected to the Icelandic parliament Althing in 2016 as a representative of the left-green movement and was re-elected in the early elections in 2017, but left the left-green parliamentary group in November 2019 and has been a non-attached MP since then .

Life

Andrés Ingi holds an MA in Political Science from the University of Sussex (2007) and has worked as a journalist for the free newspaper 24 stundir and as an assistant in Icelandic ministries (first in the Ministry of Health, then in the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources). He was active in various organizations, from 2009 to 2013 he was a member of the board of directors of the Association for Women's Rights Kvenréttindafélag Íslands and from 2012 to 2013 he was the deputy chairman of the Icelandic Political Science Association.

Since the Icelandic parliamentary elections on October 29, 2016 , Andrés Ingi has been a member of the Icelandic parliament Althing for the constituency of Reykjavík-Nord . After the early parliamentary elections in Iceland in 2017 , in which he was re-elected, he and Rósa Björk Brynjólfsdóttir voted against the coalition talks of the Left-Green movement with the Independence Party and the Progress Party . However, they remained in the left-green parliamentary group even after the government coalition was formed. Andrés Ingi left it in November 2019, because under these conditions it had become too difficult to stand up for the ideals of his party. Among other things, the measures taken by the left-green government to combat a climate catastrophe were less extensive than he considered necessary and self-evident.
