Labour minister’s pledge to Limassol charities

THE MINISTER of Labour Antonis Vassiliou yesterday visited Ayios Stefanos, Apostolos Loucas and Theotokos foundations in Limassol, pledging government support and aid to the foundations supporting people with special needs.

“As the government, we greatly appreciate the work undertaken, especially for these people, as it takes a lot of strength to deal with these problems and, of course, the state provides rewards beyond thanks and appreciation, through its active economic and moral support,” said Minister Vassiliou.

Vassiliou promised that the government will be responsive to the needs put forward by such organisations. “We will respond, I think, to almost 100 per cent of the problems put before us,” he said.

“What we are interested in is for these foundations to continue working and the least we can do as the Ministry of Labour and as a government is to respond to what is being asked from us, and meet the expectations of those facing problems.”

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
