AKEL denounces provoking incidents by Nazi ultra-right students in Pafos
AKEL C.C. Press Office, 17th October 2014, Nicosia
AKEL denounces the incidents at a school in the Pafos district that took place during the election for the representatives of the District School Pupil’s Coordinating Committee (ESEM).
For some time now we have been expressing our deep concern and have denounced the infiltration of the Nazi branch of the “Golden Dawn” party inside the school pupil’s movement as well.
What provokes even more concern however is the cooperation of the youth organisation of the Rally DISY party with this Nazi organisation, as this was expressed in the election procedure in question.
We once again reiterate the need for the political isolation of the Nazi ultra-right by all the political forces without exception. Political isolation in practice means refraining from any kind of cooperation whatsoever with this dangerous remnant of history, which is once more coming to the fore.
At the same time however political isolation also means refraining from any ideological alignment in any way with the disastrous ideological fabrications of bigotry, nationalism and the glorification of the ideas and actions of Grivas, which regretfully continue to co-exist also within the ranks of the DISY party and its youth organisation.
We recall that AKEL has submitted a relevant issue to be discussed and ex officio examined in the Parliamentary Committee on Institutions, Merit and the Commissioner for Administration (Ombudsman) of the House of Representatives
