Rejection of Amendment for Electric Interconnection Funds in Parliament

December 17, 2025

The Parliament discussed an amendment to freeze funds from the Ministry of Finance related to the electric interconnection project. The amendment sought the release of 54 million euros for 2025 and 2026. It was rejected with 27 votes in favor and 28 against, mostly from DISY and DIKO members. This means the Ministry of Finance can release the funds whenever it deems appropriate, without further notification or intervention from Parliament. This decision impacts the management of resources for the project.
