NEDISY criticizes AKEL over allegations against the Cyprus Youth Board

On August 19, 2026, the youth organization of the Democratic Rally party, NEDISY, issued a formal statement criticizing AKEL and its youth branch, EDON, regarding the management of the Cyprus Youth Board (ONEK). NEDISY highlighted what it described as a "deafening silence" from AKEL concerning serious allegations that have circulated in public discourse for three days.

The allegations against the current board of ONEK and its president include concerns over funding practices, potential conflicts of interest, and the failure to implement decisions reached by the majority of the Board of Directors. Additionally, the claims involve questions regarding the validity of the president's declared academic credentials. NEDISY asserts that in any other context, AKEL would have demanded immediate investigations, accountability, and the resignation of those involved.

The current political atmosphere surrounding the state organization remains tense, with no official response provided by AKEL as of yet. NEDISY continues to press for transparency, suggesting that the party's lack of reaction signifies a double standard in political conduct.
