Chamboullas Reopens Discussion on Legalizing Songbird Hunting (video)

Evgenios Chamboullas, a parliamentary candidate from Limassol with ELAM, states that if elected, he will reopen the issue of songbird hunting. He cites a letter from former Interior Minister Socrates Hasikos, which stated that, according to an opinion from the Game and Fauna Service, songbird hunting could be allowed through targeted methods, without trapping. Mr. Chamboullas acknowledges that his post with the songbirds caused negative reactions and admits that there was a mistake in the communication management of the issue.
