ONEC Issues Before the Education Committee

The Parliamentary Committee on Education discussed the budget of the Youth Organisation of Cyprus (ONEC) for 2026. The President of ONEC, Constantina Achilleos, requested approval of the budget, while representatives of the trade unions requested that the funds for medical care not be committed. A need arose for consultation regarding the issue of medical care for the Organisation's staff. MP Christos Christofides of AKEL reiterated his allegations of administrative chaos at ONEC, citing the resignation of half of the Board of Directors, direct assignments, misleading the Council in the budget preparation, and the Yannakis Yannakis case. The President of NEDISY, Dimos Georgiades, stressed the negative consequences of ONEC's dysfunction for organised youth groups and called on the Government to take decisions.
