Stefanos Stefanou, the General Secretary of the left-wing political party AKEL, asserted that disagreement with government policies does not equate to anti-European sentiment. His remarks come in response to comments made by the President of the Republic, who suggested that AKEL's stance on the government’s request for a six-month extension of its operations could reflect an anti-European attitude.

Stefanou emphasized that critiques directed at the government should not be interpreted as a lack of support for European values or principles. Additionally, he criticized the President for attributing all criticism to the opposition, suggesting that such an approach undermines constructive discourse in governance. Thus, he reinforced the notion that expressing dissent within political frameworks should be viewed as part of a healthy democratic process rather than an indication of hostility towards European integration.
