New fire, this time in relation to the announced strikes at AEK and the risk of a blackout in Cyprus, AKEL is launching new fire at the government. In a statement, the opposition party said that "the mobilisations of the employees of the AHK come as a response to the government's organised sleepwalking of the Authority for years. The Syriarchal government consciously left the Authority understaffed and out of RES projects in order to favour private big businessmen in the sector. At the same time, while it has the responsibility of running the public body, it blames the Council."
These, he adds, are part of the critical and marginal phase in which the country's energy security is in. "Today comes the account of a tragic and colossal failure of a whole decade."
[/P]He goes on to say that "the facts are inexorable" and explains.
[*]The four attempts by the government to bring in natural gas for power generation have failed miserably.
[*]Schedules for the country's energy infrastructure have been broken and postponed again and again.
[*]Failure is also recorded in the penetration of GDP in our country's energy mix.

"AKEL's warnings and proposals on energy", according to the statement, "were defiantly ignored by the outgoing government. It pays them in energy insecurity and energy poverty. It pays them in very expensive electricity and in hundreds of millions of euros in fines for pollutants."
In the face of this failure, he concludes, "there is the proposal in the programme of Andreas Mavroyiannis, with nine pillars for energy that guarantee the country's energy security, with an environmental and social dimension."."
