Irene Charalambidou Won't Yield Seat: “I Won't Lower the Dialogue to That Level”

MP Irene Charalambidou responded to accusations from AKEL, stating that she will not resign from her seat. She emphasized that MPs are elected by preference cross and not by ranking lists, adding that the request for resignation underestimates the voter. She referred to personal issues that delay her decisions, as well as previous meetings with the leadership of AKEL, which did not lead to any development. She condemned personal attacks and stated that she would not stoop to the level of confrontation, while reiterating her gratitude to the people of the Left and every Cypriot citizen.
