G. Karoullas: Support for businesses and workers in the Famagusta district is necessary

"Direct and targeted political intervention is required to ensure the stability of the local economy and to provide practical support to businesses and employees," says the DISY MP for Famagusta

The need for immediate political preparedness and targeted support measures for businesses and employees affected by developments in the wider region is highlighted by George Karoullas, underlining that the current situation requires responsible decisions to ensure economic activity and social cohesion.

As he states, the Famagusta district is in a particularly sensitive position, as tourism is a key pillar of local development. For this reason, he emphasizes that it is necessary to prepare specialized support plans that cover not only hotels, but the entire tourism chain, including small and medium-sized enterprises, catering, trade, services, transport, as well as the thousands of employees who depend directly or indirectly on the sector.

Mr. Karoullas also notes that the issue goes beyond narrow economic data, as it is directly linked to social cohesion and the dignity of local communities. The protection of jobs and the sustainability of businesses, he adds, constitute a clear political responsibility towards the people who support the economy of the Famagusta province daily.

Finally, he underlines that immediate and targeted political intervention is required to ensure the stability of the local economy and to provide practical support to both businesses and employees.
