September 27, 2026
AKEL has decided not to participate in the Cyprus Forum, withdrawing from the event. The General Secretary of the party, Stefanos Stefanou, informed the organizers of his absence. This decision is linked to the rising atmosphere of intolerance in recent times. AKEL emphasizes that extremist rhetoric should not dictate public discourse in Cyprus. Further withdrawals from other party officials are expected.
