A National Council Summit Proposed by AKEL
In a recent statement, the Progressive Party of Working People (AKEL) has urged the President of the Republic to summon a National Council. This call to action comes in light of the proposals put forth by the UN Secretary-General, which have reportedly been accepted by Nikos Christodoulides.
The President mentioned receiving these proposals during a meeting in Brussels with the UN Secretary-General. He expressed his agreement with the suggestions and conveyed his optimism that the Turkish Cypriot leadership would also concur following a scheduled meeting with Ersin Tatar and the UN Secretary-General on April 5th in New York.
AKEL emphasizes the critical role of the National Council as a platform for briefing and dialogue among the political leaders on matters concerning the Cyprus issue. The party asserts that convening the National Council is essential for a comprehensive discussion on the content of the proposals made by the UN Secretary-General.
The party’s insistence on a National Council meeting underscores the importance of unity and collective decision-making in addressing national issues. AKEL’s statement concludes with a reiteration of the significance of the National Council as a venue for political forces to be informed and to present their perspectives on pivotal developments.
As the situation unfolds, all eyes are on the President’s response to AKEL’s request and whether a National Council will indeed be convened to deliberate on the future steps regarding the proposals and the broader Cyprus issue.
