The immediate response to the corruption scandal in Belgium reminds us of the ineffective functioning of the judiciary in Cyprus, the Movement of Ecologists - Citizens' Co-operation said in a statement.
"The corruption case in Europe with the Vice-President of the European Parliament Eva Kaili and the immediate response of the Police and the Justice Department of Belgium reminds us of the ineffective functioning of Justice and the Police in Cyprus".
Belgian authorities, it was noted, responded immediately and investigated the serious scandal - a Qatari bribery scandal involving political figures and made arrests and seizures. At the same time, he notes, we are learning of further investigations involving other European Union officials in connection with information about bribery from Qatar and other countries such as Morocco and Azerbaijan.
"If we were in a normal country that remains faithful to the principles of the rule of law, after the revelations of a series of scandals - passports - the Nicolatos - Kalogeros finding and many others, which have tarnished the name of Cyprus internationally, all those responsible would already have been brought to justice".
He stresses that in Cyprus, however, we are still waiting, we are going from postponement to postponement in the proceedings of those responsible for the scandal of the investment programme - without information - without society knowing what will happen. Society understands and demands justice, the statement concludes.
