His resignation was submitted by the municipal councilor of Paralimni, Chrysostomos Florentzou.
In his relevant letter, Mr. Florentzou notes that after the official announcement of the re-candidacy of the current Mayor, he felt that he had no other choice since, as he mentions, they are separated by a gap of mentality, approaches and also philosophy in terms of the necessary transparency, the vision and clearly the rational and efficient management of the Municipality.
The same letter he filed:
Letter of resignation of Chrysostomos Florentzos from the Municipal Council of Paralimni 📝
Dear members of the Municipal Council of Paralimni,
With this letter I wish to inform you of my decision to resign from my position as a member of the Municipal Council with immediate effect.
Following the official announcement of the re-candidacy of the current Mayor, with whom we are separated by a gap of mentality, approaches and also philosophy in terms of the necessary transparency, the vision and clearly the rational and efficient management of our Municipality, I personally feel that I have no other choice. My conscience does not allow me to let the Municipal Council become a pre-election arena for the satisfaction of interests, as a result of which more problems will be created in our country which has remained stagnant.
My concern for the future of our city and the wider region is true, authentic and timeless. A new Municipality that will be at the forefront of development, that will shape instead of reacting, a sustainable Municipality where development and the environment will co-exist.
The Municipality of equal opportunities, which will be accessible to all citizens and where the citizen will co-shape decisions with the leadership. A new entity where all parishes and new departments will have the infrastructure and support needed.
So I am not willing to allow any chair, position of power or the like to hinder the prosperity and development of our country.
While I respect the Mayor's decision, my disagreement is clear. I believe that Paralimni and our region needs a change of course, and it needs to be done now.
I personally declare and remain present! Next to the world of the free province of Famagusta! In the next period, I intend to continue working for the good of our city from a different starting point and I will also continue to promote my opinions and proposals with one main goal, the improvement of the lives of the citizens of Paralimni.
I sincerely thank each and every one of you for the cooperation you offered me during my tenure.
Always next to our fellow citizens for the good of Paralimni and for the future of our country! 🤝
Sincerely,
Chrysostomos Florentzou (Tomis)
