AKEL has again launched an attack on the government and the Democratic Rally for insisting on covering up the obscenity with the government not disclosing the formula for the profit rate of fuel companies.
The party's press spokesman, George Koukumas, said that the two-euro barrier on fuel is being broken but Synergy insists on taking the side of the fuel companies.
"The government insists on covering up the obscenity and not publishing the formula for the profit rate of the fuel companies, as if it were a state secret. Why they hide it is the obvious question, but all of Cyprus knows the answer," he said.
He wondered where he had heard before that the opposition gives the government tools to fight accuracy, but the government denies them, as they do with AKEL's proposed law on the fuel cap? "One day one ministry accepts our proposal and the next day, another ministry rejects it. And the Coalition is all over the parliament in order to limit the excess profits of the companies to a minimum."
The truth, he adds, is that this is as far as it goes. "Neither with accuracy, nor with the government bowing day and night to big private interests. Here and now the AKEL law proposal strengthening the legislation on fuel caps must be passed and, at the same time, drastic and sweeping market controls must be unleashed to tackle obscenity and cartels."
