Cyprus Youth Organization Board Suspension Requested

The President of the Parliamentary Committee on Education, Pavlos Mylonas, requested the immediate suspension of the Board of Directors of the Cyprus Youth Organization (ONEK) during the second discussion of the organization's budget. Mr. Mylonas expressed the opinion that intervention from the President of the Republic is necessary, as conflicts were observed between board members, conflicts with the management, and an inability to produce work. Other MPs, such as Giorgos Karoulas, emphasized the need for a clear definition of the organization's goals and priorities, while also pointing out the lack of consultation with youth organizations. Additionally, the issue of information regarding ONEK's actions in relation to the occupied territories was raised, as well as the need for transparency in pending staff matters.
