AKEL issued a statement emphasizing the immediate reinstatement of support measures for electricity and fuel
Below, the statement in full:
The same announcement:
“The government's decision to reduce the deposit tax from 30% to 17% is solely about boosting the income of those who keep deposits.
But what will happen to the thousands of over-indebted borrowers who, in conditions of unprecedented accuracy, saw their deposits and income disappear?
Will the government take measures to support borrowers like the rest Europe or will it remain in theoretical debates?
What will happen to the continuous increases in fuel, electricity and food?
The immediate reinstatement of support measures in terms of electricity and fuel, it is one of the things we don't have.”
