DISY: If the then Government had listened to Odysseus, Limassol would not have AlphaMega

The Democratic Rally (DISY) issued a statement regarding the Limassol Stadium (Alphamega Stadium), following the European Commission's approval that the state aid was compatible with European law. DISY emphasizes that the Commission's decision proves the legality of the decisions taken at the time, despite the objections of the then Auditor General, Odysseus Michailidis. It is pointed out that if the government had listened to Mr. Michailidis' criticisms, Limassol would not have the modern Alphamega stadium today. The announcement concludes by emphasizing that scrutiny and disagreement are important in a democracy, but not when driven by obsession and personal interest.
