Orphanides Fires at Vafeadis: "You Make the Decisions, You Take the Responsibility"

MP Christos Orphanides of DIKO strongly criticized Transport Minister Alexis Vafeadis regarding the management of the Larnaca port and marina. Mr. Orphanides accuses the minister of attempting to divide the residents of Larnaca and avoiding responsibility, arguing that the unilateral termination of the previous contract and the assignment of the study to TAIPED are the responsibility of the Ministry of Transport. The MP refuses to participate in a process he considers rigged to shift responsibility onto others, emphasizing that Larnaca has already decided and the minister must take responsibility for his decisions. In his letter, Mr. Orphanides calls on the minister to take ownership of his actions and not attempt to transfer responsibility to other stakeholders.
