"Discreet moves" and communications with both banks and bank employees in an effort to preserve industrial peace in the banking sector, announced DISY President and candidate for the presidency of the Republic, Averof Neophytou, sending new messages to banks about their social responsibility.
In statements after a meeting with the Secretary of the Political Committee of the New Democracy, Mr. Neophytou was asked to comment on ETYK's decision to hold a 24-hour warning strike at the Hellenic Bank next Tuesday.
"I am already in communication with both the banking sector and the workers and I will try once again to preserve industrial peace and find solutions for the good of the banking system and the workers and the economy of the country," the DISY President said, adding that "the problems are there and will be presented every day, not just to read but to try to find solutions."
Without giving further details about the communications he has, Neophytou referred to "some subtle moves" that he is making.
At the same time, Mr. Neophytou said that he respects the labour laws and the right of any organisation to make decisions, adding that "at the same time I want to reiterate that banks are not yet a business and especially banks in Cyprus because they were kept, some of them not all of them unfortunately, because sacrifices were made by depositors, by security holders, by shareholders, by all Cypriot taxpayers".
Saying that every organization has a social responsibility, the President of DISY concluded by pointing out that "much more social responsibility has organizations, such as banks, which without the support of those I have mentioned above could not be in the situation they are in today. This should not be ignored."
