Transparency does not mean the publication of falsified and distorted positions, says EDEK in response to yesterday's statement issued by AKEL.
AKEL, according to the statement, justified the issuance of the wholly offensive statement issued against the president of EDEK, saying its motives were transparency and accountability.
"Transparency does not mean publishing distorted and misrepresented positions. Transparency means that what is said in public is based and substantiated on the basis of facts."
He adds that AKEL's statement and the suspicions it raises against the President of the EDEK are based on what evidence when, within the framework of transparency and accountability, 15 months ago the President of the EDEK submitted to Parliament all the evidence that fully substantiates what he says?
"The fact that AKEL's aims are different from what it publicly notes is also documented by the following incident: EDEK, following an invitation received from AKEL, appointed MP Andreas Apostolou as its representative at an event organised by AKEL on 14 July. On the same day that AKEL issued the statement against Marinos Sizopoulos, it informed the party's offices that EDEK MP Andreas Apostolou was unwelcome at the event in question!"
It notes that it will agree with AKEL that "every political force is judged by its decisions and its general behaviour". "Indeed, the behaviour of the AKEL leadership confirms that it is a political force without political culture and basic civility," he concludes.
