MP Ierini Charalambidou Responds to AKEL's Statement

MP Ierini Charalambidou responded to a statement by AKEL, emphasizing that she has no intention of withdrawing from politics and that she did not negotiate with other political formations. She argued that her concerns relate only to part of AKEL's leadership and challenged the accusation that she would have been pleased with Christodoulides' election, highlighting her support for Anastasiades' policies on the Cyprus issue. Charalambidou stated that she declined invitations for public statements after AKEL's announcement, as she believes public controversy is not constructive. Furthermore, she accused AKEL's leadership of knowing that she would not have the opportunity to continue with the party, but choosing to present her differently.
