The Pancyprian Association of Professional Events with regret states that once again the companies in the field of events remain meteoric and exposed to the new measures of the government regarding the way the events are held, while announcing that it will soon take dynamic measures.
As they report, once again the date of final opening of the industry has been significantly extended, depriving the companies active in the field of events of the opportunity to survive during the winter months, but also of the couples who wanted to get married and have already changed the dates. the 2 times, following the occasional statements of the authorities to open the industry, the opportunity to start their common life.
According to the announcement, this gives the impression to PASYEPEK and its members, but also to their customers that, firstly, there is no understanding on the part of the Government for the difficulties faced by the industry, which are expected to become even greater against them. winter months, with many companies facing the possibility of a lockout and secondly, that all the contacts made between PASYEPEK and competent authorities have not been taken into account at all.
PASYEPEK also reminds that the first opening of the branch was announced for July 14 and if the epidemiological data allowed it. This date was then moved to September 1st and now with the latest announcements on September 15th.
In addition, the Association notes that while it has been trying to win the last 2 weeks of August to cover the lost ground from previous months, and while it has prepared a manual on how to hold the events to facilitate the authorities, the Government has given them 8 more days in August with a limit of 350 people, while extending the original opening date by 15 days.
The manual they prepared, as they note, has hardly been taken into account.
Based on the above, PASYEPEK considers that the competent authorities have lost all credibility while their members have also lost their credibility to their customers, which based on the statements of the authorities each time directed the customers to a new change of dates and new postponement of their scheduled events.
They also call on the Government to be ready to assume the responsibilities, financial and other, of its political decisions - since it is a political decision not to open their branch, despite the contrary instructions of the epidemiological group, the epidemiological data and its previous statements. the Government itself.
They state that "we will not remain inactive in these developments nor will we show re-confidence in the various promises and statements but we are preparing a series of actions, which will be announced, in order to claim the right to work and consequently to survival."
Finally, they invite all their members and those who are affected by these decisions, whether they are professionals or individuals "to gather and attend the events that will be announced in order to vigorously claim our rights."
