The confrontation between the Presidential Council and AKEL is raging with the Government Spokesman reversing, again, firing at AKEL which today made new statements referring to statistics.
"With the a la carte invocation of Eurostat statistics, AKEL merely confirms the what we stated in our statement yesterday," Government Spokesman Marios Pelekanos tells AKEL in today's written reply.
As Pelecanos claims, these are the same statistics that show Cyprus "has consistently strong growth rates, has eliminated unemployment, has halved the number of households facing severe material deprivation and has recorded the best performance since 2005 where data on a number of economic indicators are available."
"They continue to refer to the ATA, believing that our fellow citizens forget that it was under their government that it was abolished and that it is the government of Nicos Anastasiades that has reinstated it," he added.
In conclusion, the Government Spokesman says that "while AKEL's populism will continue, the Government will continue with seriousness, responsibility and without risking the future of the country, to find solutions to deal with either the crises they created when they were in power or the imported crises of the pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine".
