“They Castrated EAC” – Harsh Attack by Grigoriou and Warning Strike

The General Secretary of SEK-PEO, Nikos Grigoriou, launches a harsh attack on the government, accusing it of “castrating” the EAC and hindering its crucial role in the energy sector. Referring to the warning strike that will be carried out by the EAC unions, he described it as justified. Mr. Grigoriou raised questions about a bill that allows Cyta to operate in the electricity market without informing the relevant ministry and the EAC itself, characterizing this as harmful to both companies. Furthermore, he referred to a report by the Auditor General showing that private monopolies were favored at the expense of consumers and that the EAC was excluded from Renewable Energy Sources, resulting in Cypriot consumers not having access to cheap electricity.
