Þorsteinn Bergsson is the lead candidate for the Socialist Party of Iceland (Sósíalistaflokkurinn) in the Northeast constituency.

Þorsteinn Bergsson was unanimously approved at a membership meeting of the Socialist Party of Iceland as the party's lead candidate in the Northeast constituency.Þorsteinn lives in Egilsstaðir, a writer and translator, but a former sheep farmer in Hjaltastaðaþinghá for many years. He is a staunch leftist, and the ownership of land and companies that can be considered essential infrastructure is close to his heart. He believes it is urgent that the state and municipalities intervene robustly in housing matters and ensure people access to rental housing at decent terms. The financial system needs to be made aware that it should support families and businesses in the country and not drain their vitality.
