REYKJAVIK, Iceland — A new center-left government took office in crisis-hit Iceland Sunday, headed by the country’s first openly gay national leader.

Prime Minister Johanna Sigurdardottir and her Cabinet were officially appointed by the head of state, President Olafur Ragnar Grimsson, after a tumultuous week that saw Iceland’s previous conservative government collapse over the country’s economic meltdown.

Sigurdardottir said one of her first acts “will be to change the leadership of the central bank.”
