August 7, 2026
A political debate between DISY and AKEL concerning the Great Sea Interconnector has emerged with the entry of French company Meridiam into the project. DISY calls for the government and AKEL to recognize the strategic importance of the GSI, while AKEL responds that DISY is not qualified to speak on energy matters. DISY emphasizes that the project's implementation is crucial for Cyprus and its energy security. Conversely, AKEL highlights the issues left by the DISY government in the energy sector. The discussion around the project's costs and benefits remains a central topic.
