Unions to protest outside Prime Ministry
Unions have announced that they will stage a protest outside the Prime Ministry tomorrow in response to draft laws on the cost-of-living allowance and alleged violations of freedom of expression.
Union representatives gathered at the Cyprus Turkish Teachers’ Union to assess the latest developments. Speaking ahead of the meeting on behalf of unions, Arslan Bıçaklı warned that a general strike could be relaunched if the draft laws are insisted upon in the General Assembly.
Following the meeting, KTÖS Secretary General Burak Maviş announced that unions will gather at 11:00 am tomorrow in front of the Prime Ministry. Maviş stressed that unions have maintained a clear stance from the outset, calling for the draft laws to be referred back to committee.
He also expressed a lack of trust in the government and the Prime Minister, arguing that the issue has evolved beyond a legislative debate into a broader political crisis.
Maviş said the only democratic solution to the crisis is early elections, while also criticizing what he described as systematic interference in media and social media content.Unions have announced that they will stage a protest outside the Prime Ministry tomorrow in response to draft laws on the cost-of-living allowance and alleged violations of freedom of expression.
