"To take the foreigners in the park of the President, in the parks of Limassol and not to leave them in the villages of the area. Foreigners are sleeping in the yards of the houses and every now and then the Police are called to chase them. In Poland and Hungary they install power lines and block their entry. Aren't they members of the European Union? "Representatives of the Government should go to the Congo and arrange the transfer of the foreigners and not wait from Brussels", said the Common Leader Kokkinotrimithias.
