AKEL Criticizes Closed-Door Session of Finance Committee

The House Finance Committee held a closed-door session to discuss bills related to foreclosures, with the presence of the Minister of Finance and a representative of the Central Bank. The decision to hold the session behind closed doors sparked reactions from AKEL, which argued that the discussion should be open, given that there were already 26 proposals on the issue. The Committee President, a representative of DIKO, defended the decision, emphasizing the need for discussion with the institutions. The session aimed to examine two government bills, alongside the existing proposals of the parties.
