Three years ago, Cypriot society watched in amazement as Cyprus was placed on the sad list of serial killers, says AKEL.
Through the mouth of Aristos Damianou, it stresses that a combination of inefficiency, incompetence and institutional racism led to the horrifying tally of 7 femicides.
Three years on, the same dangerous combination of inefficiency, incompetence and institutional racism creates a new statistic: 14 unaccompanied children have disappeared. "Because in previous weeks we raised specific questions in the context of the Parliamentary Control without receiving an answer, we repeat the obvious question to the relevant political superiors, the Minister of Interior, the Minister of Justice, the Deputy Minister of Social Welfare as well as the Chief of Police. What actions have been taken to prevent disappearances and what actions have been taken to identify missing unaccompanied minors."
He concludes by adding that at present it is not a matter of political decency, which in any case does not characterize those in power. "It is first and foremost a question of institutional responsibility and public accountability for an issue on which the authorities are keeping silent. We expect answers."
