As Stefanos Stefanou says, on the Cyprus issue, after being briefed by the President on the situation, we reiterated the need to remain focused on the goal of the liberation and reunification of Cyprus, on the solution of the Cyprus problem on the agreed basis and framework. AKEL was and is of the view that initiatives need to be taken on our side towards the resumption of the talks from the point where they were interrupted in 2017 and on the basis of the Guterres Framework and the negotiating acquis. At a time when the eyes of the world are focused on the war in Ukraine, we need to consistently and credibly put forward the need to mobilise the international community for the solution of the Cyprus problem.
He stresses that as regards the Recovery Plan and the reforms underway, we have indicated that over the past years AKEL has been creative, even leading, in promoting reforms that truly serve Cypriot society. AKEL positions itself against any reform proposal on the basis of its content and not its proclamation titles.
"AKEL has also insisted on the issue of poverty and the need for drastic measures to support the purchasing power of households, workers and the country's middle class. We reiterated our proposals to impose a cap on fuel and to tax the windfall profits of large companies in the energy sector. We expect the government to listen to our proposals, which only aim to relieve the vast majority of the Cypriot people."
