AKEL Criticizes Government's Approach to Trump

AKEL is strongly criticizing the government for its stance towards Donald Trump, describing it as “sycophancy” and stating that it does not honor Cyprus and its dignity. AKEL particularly criticizes the statements of Foreign Minister Konstantinos Kombos about Trump, which it considers “shameful and politically problematic”. Specifically, AKEL condemns the minister’s enthusiasm for Trump and his invitation for him to visit Cyprus, pointing out that the government appears unconcerned about the “inflammatory and illegal actions” of the US President, including his disrespect towards Europe. AKEL stresses that Cyprus should rely on international law and UN resolutions, warning that the government’s approach will have negative consequences for the country.
