Municipal elections will normally be held on Sunday

Elections for the local government will normally take place on Sunday, as it was decided in a meeting at the Ministry of Interior with the participation of representatives of the parties.

It was also decided to give a deadline until 9 am tomorrow to those civil servants who staff polling stations to respond in writing whether they will respond and to ask teachers and public sector employees to express their intention to work in the elections.

Applications should be faxed to provincial administrations.

Anyone who refuses to work will be perceived as uninterested and will not be called up again in future elections.

Interior Minister Neoklis Silikiotis said the election was the ultimate expression of democracy and could not be suspended.

The General Electoral Commissioner Andreas Assiotis appealed to PASYDY to reconsider its decision and clarified that despite the rumors, those who work in the elections will be paid normally.

A new meeting will be held tomorrow at the Ministry of Interior to assess the situation.
