Statement by AKEL C.C. Spokesperson Stefanos Stefanou on the Sustainable Development ReporCyprus is bottom of the table on Sustainable Development
AKEL C.C. Press Office, 14th December 2020, Nicosia
The results of the recent Sustainable Development Report, which reflects the situation and progress of European countries in areas such as the quality of health and education, social inequality and poverty, environmental policy, gender equality, corruption and the rule of law.
Cyprus is ranked 29th out of 31 countries across the European continent…
This is the account of the 8-year rule of neoliberalism, conservatism and an absence of a vision. This is the government’s record that considers casinos to be Cyprus’ biggest investment and that excels in serving the powerful financial interests.
Everything points to the fact that Cyprus needs and deserves a different path. We need a new sustainable model of development that produces prosperity for all, not just for the privileged few; a developmental model that respects the environment and working people, supports a modern welfare state and enhances the rule of law and transparency.
