The General Secretary of the AKEL Central Committee, Stefanos Stefanou, held a meeting today with community leaders of the Vasilikos area. The main topic of discussion was the possible transfer of the asphalt factories to the Kalavasou community.
The General Secretary of the C.E. of AKEL reiterated that AKEL supports the struggle of all communities facing this problem. He noted that AKEL had very early on submitted alternative proposals to the government so that a definitive and holistic solution to the problem could be found.
Among other things, AKEL proposed carrying out a comprehensive spatial planning study to show which area could accommodate this type of industry. It also stressed that all procedures should be transparent and subject to public consultation.
AKEL does not accept the logic of transferring the problem from one region to another. Serving the public interest, the health and quality of life of the people must be put above any interests.
The meeting was attended by the mayors of Psematismenou, Kalavasos, Choirokoitia, Zygios and Mari. The AKEL delegation included Chrystalla Antoniou, Larnaca District Secretary of AKEL, Andreas Pasiourtidis and Nikos Kettiros, MPs, the head of the Energy and Environment Sector of AKEL, Christina Nicolaou and member of the E.
