Full support for the demand of the "prime minister" and chairman of the CEC, Faiz Suzhouoglu for the removal of the "finance minister", Sunat Atoun from his post, was decided last night by the party's central committee, which met in an extraordinary session, while today Ersin Tatar is expected to announce his decision on whether to accept this request or the resignation of the entire "government" submitted to him late yesterday afternoon by its three partners.
The issue is currently occupying headlines in the T/C press, which is talking about a crisis, the largest circulating newspaper "Kipris" has the headline "Patience de" and writes that while the successive increases in fuel, LPG and electricity are suffocating citizens and productive groups such as farmers, tourism operators and others seeking solutions to their problems, the only two-month-old "government", which has not yet managed to stabilize, submitted its conditional resignation when the request for transformation to Tatar went unanswered. It notes that this is the second time that a request for a change in the composition of the 'cabinet' has been made, meaning that on both occasions Mr Soutjuoglu wanted to remove Sunat Atun from office.
The CEC-affiliated newspaper "Gounes" projected in its full front page that the party's central committee gave full support to the demand for "change in the cabinet" and wrote that the enlarged session also offered support to Faiz Suzhouoglu with the attendees shouting slogans in his favour.
Under the headline "Ankara will announce the winner in the mahalla fight", the Avrupa newspaper also headlines that Suzhouoglu "asked for change" from Atun in a confrontation that began with electricity hikes. According to the publication, the reason why Tatar did not give an answer to Suzhouoglu yesterday morning when he called for the removal of Sunat Atun was because he wanted to consult with Ankara. Avrupa also reports that while "the country" was experiencing a crisis yesterday, Ersin Tatar went to the stadium to watch the match between YAK (of occupied Nicosia, St. Cassianos area - Yenijami in Turkish) and MTG (of occupied Famagusta) teams. It even publishes a photo of Mr Tatar talking to football officials in the stands of the stadium.
Yeni Dusen, which is close to the opposition PTK, under the headline "Either change or resign", writes that Faiz Suzhouoglu submitted the conditional resignation of the "government" to Ersin Tatar, telling him that either there will be a change in the "cabinet" (SS: Sunat Atun will be removed) or the whole "government" will resign. All eyes are on Ersin Tatar today and the decision he will announce.
In a statement at midnight, the "prime minister", Faiz Suzhouoglu announced, after the end of the meeting of the central committee of the CCP, that Sunat Atoun is being referred to the party's disciplinary body. His request for a change in the "cabinet", he added, received broad support from the expanded session of the party body. Recalling that he has been elected chairman of the CEC with the highest approval rating in the last 30 years, Suzhouoglu said his aim is to serve the people and noted that in case the resignation of the "government" is accepted, then they will continue the struggle. There is no question of going back on his position, he said, (PS: in the resignation of either Atun or the "government", the decision is the "president's", Suzhouoglu said, referring to the TC leader.
