Irene Charalambidou responded to AKEL after their “divorce,” describing the proposal to continue cooperation as general and vague. She argued that the decision to be excluded from the parliamentary group was made by AKEL’s leadership and that she had no desire to become independent. She accused AKEL of attempting to erode her personality and using characterizations aimed at polarization. Regarding AKEL’s demand for the return of her parliamentary seat, she emphasized that it disregards and underestimates the voter. Ms. Charalambidou stated that she will continue to serve the interests of citizens regardless of party affiliations.
