The Government has picked up the gauntlet and responds to AKEL's criticisms on accuracy and the much-publicised, as it described, meeting at the Presidential Palace on accuracy, which turned out to be yet another, as it stressed, communication ploy.
The response came through Government Spokesman Marios Pelekanou, who noted that the government's response is given through policies that bring results while once again looking back to 2013 during the AKEL government.
In particular, he said that AKEL thinks that the economy works with orders and commands and parroting two proposals. "And accuracy according to their theory is not tamed because the government is callous. It is with this 'seriousness' that when they were in power they sent the country over the cliff."
The government's response, he added, is through policies that deliver results while ensuring the country's economic stability and not jeopardising our future course.
Regarding additional measures, he said that "with the same seriousness and rationality that brought us out of the 2013 crisis they created and the coronavirus crisis, we will continue to offer sustainable solutions."
The much-publicised meeting on accuracy
Earlier today, in a written statement, AKEL Politburo member Neoclis Sylikiotis said "the much-publicised meeting at the Presidential Palace on accuracy proved once again to be a communication trick".
He noted that instead of measures, after months of inaction, the DISY Anastasiades government announced new meetings to take measures to deal with accuracy.
"The socially callous DISY Anastasiades government denies reality. It whistles indifferently about the escalating accuracy that the Cypriot people are experiencing in their own skin. It turns a blind eye to obscenity."
AKEL, he added, has long tabled legislative proposals for the abolition of double taxation and a cap on fuel, for the reduction of VAT on goods and electricity.
He called on the government, even at this late stage, to respond to AKEL's proposals and the demands of society. Measures are needed now, he concluded.
