Before the plenary during the second day of debate on the state budget, MPs - "For abandoning the refugee world and the abject failure to handle displaced persons' issues" spoke N. Kettereros

This government has abandoned the refugee world and abject failure and incompetence in handling displaced persons' issues, said before the plenary AKEL MP Nikos Ketteros, but said that today he is more optimistic than ever and has hope because this is the last budget of DISY and its government. Kettiros said that the people deserve a better tomorrow and must mobilize to get rid of the government of pledges, corruption, scandals, sky scrapers and protection of law firms.

In his speech, Mr. Kettereros criticized those in power for making announcements during their administration about funds for the refugee world which were never implemented, and the millions were returned to the state for the following year. He spoke of the audacity of the rulers presenting a virtual reality for the refugee settlements, saying that the figures are indicative of the abandonment of refugees as from 2013 to 2021 only 40 million was allocated as spending on projects, while the AKEL government in just 3 years spent 70 million euros.

The AKEL MP said that for the chapter on compensation for loss of use, which was first mentioned in 2017, the government did nothing and there is no provision in the budget, even to maintain the hope of refugees. He criticized the government's handling of the issues of installing elevators in the refugee settlements and said that there was no need for museums for Grivas "because these settlements are vast museums reminiscent of the dumbbell." He also spoke of a humiliating amount for the rent of accommodation and criticized the handling of the issues of T/C property where "no matter which stone you lift you will see mismanagement, obscure procedures and scandals."
