We must not allow the resolution on Grivas to divide us, said DPA MP, Alekos Tryfonidis saying that they honor the struggle of EOKA, the political leader, National Archbishop Makarios, the military leader Grivas Digenis and all the fighters, but "we do not have the right to write off the involvement of the general before the events of 1974." A coup does not take place in the last six months, it is organized before, he added, saying that we must all admit these truths in order to move forward. Tryfonides said that the process of debating and passing the budget is the supreme act of a parliament and the PPP identifies itself with the politics of the authentic centre that politicises creatively, consensually, synthetically and actively arrives at pro-citizen positions. The 2023 budget, he said, presents an optimistic picture recording positive economic growth rates and economic signs in the main economic indicators. In contrast, he noted, international data predicting a recession and negative developments.
He spoke of the risk of creating new non-performing loans due to inflation and rising interest rates and would inflate the problem of thousands of households. He considered this issue to be inextricably linked to the issue of divestments and considered it positive that the President will sign the law on divestments, clarifying that their goal is not to suspend divestments, but "to provide definitive solutions by changing the legislative framework to balance the positions of the borrower - banks - management companies". Mr. Tryfonidis said that the DPA calls for the upgrading of the institution of the Financial Ombudsman, with proper staffing and organization to respond to the thousands of complaints from citizens about abusive clauses in loans.
