AKEL Leader Criticizes Fuel Prices, EU's Obsession with Russia, and Trump

AKEL General Secretary Stefanos Stefanou strongly criticized the government and fuel companies for the continuous increases in fuel and LPG prices. He argued that the increases are not solely due to the war, but also to profiteering. Mr. Stefanou proposed the suspension of all fuel taxes to control profiteering and relieve consumers. He also criticized the European Union for its obsession with Russia and described Donald Trump as a "paranoid far-right president." He believes that different leadership in the EU could have prevented the war in Ukraine.
