Serious Allegations by EDON Against YAC: Accusations of Institutional Derailment, Board Immobilization, and Five-Year Absence of Executive Director

EDON raises serious allegations against the operation of the Youth Board of Cyprus (YAC), characterizing the situation as an institutional derailment. It highlights problems with the functioning of the Board of Directors, the five-year absence of an Executive Director, and the role of the Deputy Executive Director, accusing her of arbitrary actions and opacity. EDON states that the Deputy Director creates functionality and institutional balance problems, confusing responsibilities and exceeding her scope of responsibility. It also refers to her refusal to submit information regarding assignments, contracts, and previous minutes. The resignation of three members of the Board is attributed to an attempt to avoid critical discussions and audits. EDON accuses management of trying to cover up actions by effectively immobilizing the Organization. EDON calls for the immediate appointment of new members to the Board to restore quorum and the smooth functioning of YAC, while emphasizing the need for an Executive Director for the effective administration of the Organization.
