ELAM Responds to AKEL's Attack: "Audacity to Talk About Risks"

ELAM responded to an attack launched by AKEL General Secretary Stefanos Stefanou, characterizing his criticism as an attempt to cover up the "incompetence" of his party. ELAM claims that AKEL's attack is a prelude to its defeat in the upcoming parliamentary elections. In its announcement, ELAM accuses AKEL of having the "audacity" to talk about risks, reminding them of the period of their governance and the economic difficulties faced by the Cypriot people. ELAM argues that citizens reject AKEL in elections due to their disappointment with its policies. ELAM emphasizes that its strength comes from the people and their reaction to AKEL's positions. It claims to have contributed to preventing "national adventures" and remains steadfastly opposed to AKEL and its policies. The exchange of statements highlights the intense political confrontation between the two parties ahead of the elections, with ELAM seeking to present itself as the only real opposition to AKEL.
