The Parliamentary Group of the Ecological Movement - Citizens' Co-operation votes against the state budget, in accordance with the decision of the Movement's political committee of last Tuesday 06 December 2022.
In a statement the Movement said that "the policies of the government still do not agree with us. And since the policies of the Anastasiades government are subsidized by the state budget then it is inevitable that we vote against it".
"The Anastasiades government," it adds, "is responsible for the lack of structures to combat money laundering, the blatant tolerance (and promotion) of corruption and corruption, and in general the promotion of the interests of the day labourers. And all this while a large portion of our population is being tortured to get a ride at the end of the month. Among other things, we stand firmly against the methodical plans for the destruction of the Akamas Peninsula through the ongoing interventions in the area, the derogatory licensing of major development projects and road construction at the expense of the environment, the non-implementation of the Sustainable Sustainable Mobility Plans SBAK and the absence of an effective public transport system. Year after year we see in our country that the environment and the welfare state are increasingly being degraded."
At the same time, the Ecologists note that they find that "the reforms lack substance, wasting the only opportunity presented for real change in our country, with the introduction of effective and digital governance."
At the same time, the Ecologists note that "the reforms lack substance, wasting the only opportunity presented for real change in our country, with the introduction of effective and digital governance. The reform bills are submitted unfinished and with many gaps and have been prepared without taking into account the views of civil society through public consultations."
They conclude with the comment that "on the positive side, this will be the last budget of the Anastasiades government. A government mired in corruption. A government that leaves a profound anti-ecological imprint on our country."
