PASOK, the Movement for Change, has issued a statement demanding clarity from the Greek government on whether it agrees with Deputy Foreign Minister Haris Theocharis. Theocharis has blamed the Republic of Cyprus for the delays in the laying of the Cyprus-Crete electricity interconnection cable, which was initially expected to be completed a year and a half ago. During an interview, he suggested that the objections to the project originated from Cyprus rather than Turkey, a statement that has raised concerns about the implications of such a narrative for Greek-Cypriot relations in the context of Turkish provocations.

The announcement from PASOK highlights the growing political tensions regarding Greek foreign policy, particularly after recent interactions with Turkey. The party has pointedly raised questions about whether this stance marks a new strategic doctrine for the current government led by New Democracy, following a meeting with the Turkish President. PASOK's inquiries suggest a high level of skepticism regarding the government's position on national issues, particularly in light of ongoing tensions in the Eastern Mediterranean.

The relevance of this discourse is underscored by the increasing uncertainty surrounding the Greek government’s management of national sovereignty vis-à-vis Turkey. PASOK is pressing for answers, specifically regarding whether the government acknowledges the threats posed by Turkish actions and how it plans to address these challenges publicly. The overall scrutiny of this situation reflects broader national concerns regarding security and diplomatic relations with both Cyprus and Turkey in the region.
