The Democratic Coalition's response to AKEL on the GESY was immediate following the press conference which was given by the General Secretary of AKEL and during which, among other things, he said that some people want to damage the GESY, claiming that "some circles are within the government itself".[/B]
In its statement, DISY said, "The GESY will be three years old in June and AKEL may think that they were in the lead but we must remind for the umpteenth time that it is the Anastasiades government that implemented it. At the same time, it was never said by anyone that all the problems concerning the GESY have been resolved. If AKEL wants to simply act every now and then as the flag bearer of the problems and wag its finger at the government and the Democratic Rally, let it do so."
This tactic, he adds, has not and will never solve any problem. He notes that "society has embraced the GESY which is the greatest social achievement. There are specific challenges ahead, such as combating abuses and further strengthening the services provided."[BR]"In this ongoing effort all stakeholders have an important role to play and as we have repeatedly stressed, those changes should be made that do not touch the philosophy of the FTA but will improve any problems that arise today," the statement concludes."[BR]"In this ongoing effort all stakeholders have an important role to play and as we have repeatedly stressed, those changes that do not touch the philosophy of the FTA but will improve any problems that arise today should be made," the statement concludes.
