Archbishop comes out in favour of privatisations

Poly Pantelides – 6/3/13 THROWING his weight behind the privatisation of state assets, Archbishop Chrysostomos II yesterday said he believed privatising semi-governmental organisations (SGOs) was the way forward. The outspoken head of the Church who likes to dabble in politics and publicly backed President Nicos Anastasiades in run-up to the elections, told an SGO yesterday – state broadcaster CyBC – that privatisations should start as soon as possible. “So that I’m not misunderstood, I stress that I do not wish for anyone to lose their job, and I believe this is also the government’s position,” the archbishop said
