You Get What You Pay For

Neofytos Neofytou points out that parliamentary elections should not be treated as a communication show, but as an opportunity to elect MPs who will resist economic interests and vote for laws that benefit citizens. The criterion for selection should be the work and attitude of the parties and MPs during the current term. The author argues that AKEL – Left – New Forces differs from the other parties, as it supports pro-people proposals and opposes measures that serve big capital and banks. He cites specific examples, such as the taxation of bank super-profits, support for vulnerable groups, and pension increases. Furthermore, Neofytos Neofytou accuses the governing parties of supporting a government in political disrepute, nepotism, opaque procedures, and silence in the face of scandals and organized crime. Finally, he emphasizes that AKEL is a patriotic force with a firm position on resolving the Cyprus issue and calls on citizens to trust the party as a serious, responsible, and reliable political force.
