AKEL Famagusta requests the government and the competent ministries to transform the promises and announcements into projects for the free area of Famagusta.
The 27th District Conference, which took place on May 6-7, 2017, discussed and approved a memorandum to the competent ministries in which the problems of the free area of Famagusta are recorded and the implementation of projects is requested.
In the chapter of development policy, the Conference concluded that it was degraded under the government of Nikos Anastasiadis. Special mention was made of Anastasiadis' visit to the region in the summer of 2015 and of the well-known project announcements, the majority of which, as emphasized, remained on paper. "There are no projects for education and sports in the development planning of the government, there are no projects and measures to reduce unemployment, nor for health and rural development," reads the memo in which AKEL Famagusta's suggestions are recorded as follows:
Environment
Education
The 27th Provincial Conference considers that the government should include and promote in its immediate planning the following projects, which are related to education:
Health
For the Health sector, AKEL Famagusta sets as priorities the support and reorganization of state hospitals. In particular, reference is made to the General Hospital of Famagusta, which, as it is emphasized, is completely absent from the planning of the Anastasiadis government. "We note that its staff is very deficient, with the result that its potential is not fully utilized and it is unable to meet all the needs of the residents of the area," emphasizes AKEL, which proposes:
Reinforcement of the General Hospital of Famagusta with medical and nursing staff.
In the first phase, the intensive monitoring unit should be staffed and operated.
Establish a rehabilitation center for patients in the empty areas of the hospital.
To operate an occupational therapy unit for children.
Upgrading and improving the operation of Rural Medical Centers.
Tourism
Of course, a memorandum concerning the free area of Famagusta cannot lack reference to tourism. The Conference stressed the need to modernize and radically reform tourism policy, through a new strategic development plan, so that tourism, especially in free Famagusta, becomes better quality, acquires identity and successfully tackles seasonality.
This reform, as pointed out, should focus on exploiting the comparative advantages of the following proposals:
The memorandum also includes proposals for agricultural policy, cages, social protection and refugee polling stations for elections in occupied municipalities / communities.
