Morning all, does anyone know anything about the Advocates strike that is on at the moment? Thanks.

The are protesting about the new laws the government want to bring it that, put simply, will allow people to get away with not repaying outstanding loans.

As I said that is my simple view but if the advocates think it is wrong it must be one of the crazier things the government have tried to push through and which is obviously designed to protect one sector of the community. One thing for sure it is not in our favour. If I find back references I will post back here.

A clip from an article earlier in April, the rest can be viewed at - http://northcyprusfreepress.com/law/nor ... w-changes/

The amendment proposed to cancel earlier court orders and wipe out debts, something which they considered unacceptable and felt it would damage the system. Mr Unver went on to say,”Parliament’s duty is to make laws and cannot interfere in the authority of the executive in this way. With statements made, politicians are deceiving the public, but people are capable of seeing this

No problem. There are some more press clips around but I think the comments above sum it up pretty well.
