DIKO Calls for Support for Livestock Farms Affected by Foot-and-Mouth Disease

The Democratic Party (DIKO) has sent a letter to the Cyprus Banks Association and the two largest banks in Cyprus, requesting a suspension of interest and charges for livestock farms affected by foot-and-mouth disease. The party's President, Nicolas Papadopoulos, stated that this move is part of an effort to support livestock farming, which has suffered significant damage from the disease. Mr. Papadopoulos emphasized the need for social responsibility and solidarity, calling on everyone to contribute to supporting livestock farmers. The intervention is considered necessary due to the financial difficulties faced by livestock farms due to foot-and-mouth disease. DIKO expresses its hope that banking institutions will respond quickly and effectively to their request, providing substantial assistance to the livestock sector. This support is considered vital to maintaining the viability of livestock farms and avoiding further economic consequences. The move by DIKO highlights the need for cooperation between the political world, banks, and livestock farmers in order to address the challenges posed by foot-and-mouth disease and ensure the sustainability of the livestock sector in Cyprus.
