Damianou's Sharp Response to DISY President – "We Will Not Follow Polarization"

AKEL MP Aristos Damianou responded strongly to statements made by the President of DISY, accusing her of attempting to polarize the political climate through "worn-out and arbitrary claims." Mr. Damianou emphasized that political debate should not devolve into populism and petty politics, given the serious challenges facing Cyprus and the region. He highlighted the need for seriousness and responsibility from the political system. According to Mr. Damianou, AKEL will not seek to escalate the confrontation but will continue to focus on society and its problems. This statement is a response to previous statements by the President of DISY, which appear to have provoked a strong reaction from the AKEL MP.
