[Cyprus Times] "A small victory, of great importance" says Irini Charalambidou on PM's associates

"A small victory, of great importance," says Irini Charalambidou about the President's associates What she says in her statements

"The Parliament said a resounding no to the President's buffoonery and the defiantly illegal, illegal, bribery of the three close associates of the President who were transferred from Pindarou and his fraternity!" says Irini Charalambidou.

t№6 As she notes, "from political appointments, with what the 2015 law provides for, he abusively and illegally converted them into open-ended appointments. He loaded them into the public sector with hefty salaries. Within 8 years, ( and while for others the salaries were frozen), he gave them increases that a Public Secretary takes 25 years to get, as the Auditor General of the Republic told the Parliamentary Audit Committee during the discussion of the Report on this matter.
What did we vote yesterday? The obvious, what the law already provides that "presidential advisors and associates will not be paid by the public, the taxpaying citizen when their services are no longer needed , that is, when the term of office of the person who appointed them ends . And all previous presidents have done this."

t№8 At the same time, he stresses, "think of the efforts that the children of every citizen make to achieve a position in the public service. And how the people under discussion found it paved because of party identity and Presidential affinity."

t№10 He points out that those in the House yesterday who by their vote became allies of the President's abuses, and aligned themselves with his instructions to vote against the amendment at all costs, "let them not dare to talk to us again about fighting corruption in the House when they did not do the minimum, the smallest, to prove consistency of words and deeds."

t№12 He concludes by stressing that "it was a very small victory yesterday , small, but it had its importance. And if the President wants to reverse a just and enforced regulation that he himself should have respected ,for the eyes of his niece and his close associates let him do so!

t№14 It will be one more tile in the picture of corruption of this government that the world will see when DISY dares to turn to the people and ask for a vote for the continuation of this government that has no limit to its moral decline."Contents of this article including associated images are belongs
