Homophobia is not only the racist toxic speech of labeled neanderthals, it is also the structural refusal of the state and government to enforce hate speech laws and fix laws that perpetuate discrimination, he said before the plenary session of the Parliament, during the second day of debate on the state budget, George Koukumas, MP of AKEL.
Mr. Koukumas said, among other things, that in the last ten years workers' wages as a percentage of the country's GDP have fallen by 5%, while business profits have increased by 7%, stating that these figures amount to billions of euros and reveal a tectonic shift of wealth that has taken place in Cyprus over the last decade from the middle and lower strata of society to the upper strata. At the same time, he said that these figures encapsulate the reality lived by the majority of society, the life of tens of thousands of workers who are now forced to cut expenses from everywhere to make ends meet, who are literally afraid to open the electricity bill, who find it difficult to educate their children and pay the instalments in the bank.
Koukumas said that in the face of the policy of the government and DISY there is another way, which meets the demands and needs of the people, of society, demands that the Left puts forward inside and outside the Parliament and which are only found in the government programme of Andreas Mavroyiannis. He referred to demands such as the full restoration of the ATA, to change the minimum wage decided by the government and to regulate telecommuting, etc.
