May 2, 2026

The Government Spokesman, Konstantinos Letymbiotis, responded harshly to AKEL regarding criticism about poverty and social policy. He emphasized that AKEL has 'selective memory,' citing data from their own governance periods. He argued that the current government's policies have reduced the risk of poverty since 2013. Letymbiotis pointed out that social difficulties are not underestimated but require a holistic approach rather than selective mentions. He provided figures showing progress in social policy.
