AKEL Calls for Resignation or Dismissal of Agriculture Minister

AKEL is demanding the resignation or dismissal of the Minister of Agriculture, citing a series of failures and incompetence in managing critical issues affecting the country. The party points to the inadequate handling of the wildfires in the mountainous region of Limassol, the worsening water crisis due to lack of planning and projects, and the outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease due to delayed response measures as examples. AKEL accuses the Minister and the government of avoiding responsibility and attempting to shift blame onto others, such as livestock farmers who are suffering from the crisis. The party emphasizes the need for the Minister to be removed from office to effectively address the problems.
