DISY Insists on Resignation of Agriculture Minister

DISY continues to call for the resignation of the Minister of Agriculture, accusing the government of failing to prevent, manage, and contain the outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease. The party's criticism came in response to a statement by Viktor Papadopoulos, Director of the President's Press Office, who accused DISY of populism. DISY argues that the government failed to utilize the party's constructive proposals and chose an “equalizing and shameful attack” through Mr. Papadopoulos. It highlights the enormous damage suffered by livestock farmers and the economy. The party believes that the Minister of Agriculture bears political responsibility and should resign. If the government believes it handled the crisis correctly, then this proves the need to take political responsibility, according to DISY. The DISY's statement concludes by calling on the government to end the “chaos” and communication management and to develop a clear plan to address the crisis.
