The Cyprus problem and the latest developments, as shaped by Turkey's threats and provocations, the inflationary pressures recorded as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the progress in the implementation of the Plan "Cyprus - the Tomorrow" and the drawdown of European funds from the Recovery and Resilience Fund, are on the agenda of today's meeting of the National Council, which meets at 10.30 am.
President Anastasiades is expected to stress the need to approve the reforms included in the Plan, which are a prerequisite for the use of the total amount of more than 4 billion euros. which will be used for the benefit of society.
"We will also be concerned with the broader issues of modernising legislation, institutions, in order to proceed with the Recovery and Resilience Fund, so that we are able to absorb and implement programmes that have been designed, costed and approved by the political parties and the European Union through the 'Cyprus - Tomorrow' Plan," the President of the Republic said yesterday, speaking from Limassol.
Asked if he would try to secure the consensus of the political forces to move forward with what he said, President Anastasiades said that "there is consensus, there are differences somewhere, I believe that in a good spirit, in a good climate the prospects can be created."
"There are no electoral considerations, there is nothing. If, on the contrary, the reform measures envisaged are universally accepted and adopted as soon as possible, the better for all the Cypriot people, left, right, centre, they are not divided," no colour or ideology, he noted.
Regarding the consequences of the war in Ukraine, President Anastasiades said he was pleased to note that "the interest is equally great on the part of political leaders regarding the global economic crisis, which is a new, unfortunately, negative phenomenon recorded after the war in Ukraine."
