Nicosia, Cyprus. An Elam member has been appointed to the board of directors of the youth organisation Onek for the first time, prompting criticism from Edon.
Cabinet appointment
Zafiro Kastanou, who stood as an Elam parliamentary candidate in Famagusta, was appointed to Onek’s board by the cabinet.
Edon response
Edon, the youth wing of Akel, said the appointment “challenges the new generation and the very mission of the organisation”.
It said Onek should promote democracy, tolerance, respect for diversity and peaceful coexistence.
Edon also said Onek should retain and strengthen its bicommunal character, particularly because of the country’s present division.
