There will be general strike on monday at TRNC.
33 Trade unions which are against the draft law on the sliding scale system – will hold a general strike on Monday.
In a joint statement today, the unions said they will continue their struggle until the draft law is withdrawn.
Unions accused the government of trying to reduce the income of people receiving salaries from the state.

Monday morning i will be at strike tent .

Birlik mücadele dayanışma .

More interestingly, Prime-Minister Soyer and Finance Minister Uzun held a press conference a couple of days ago in which they gave a very stark message: Turkey is giving the TRNC 600 million New Turkish Lira this year, and will not give a penny more. Since they can't get any more money from Turkey, belt tightening measures need to be implemented.

It looks like there will be a very hot summer in the north of Cyprus this year.

Anybody who is serious about seeing a just settlement in Cyprus needs to understand the political processes taking place in both communities.

So when we have two "equal" federated States following a solution will this subsidy from Turkey stop. Will the wealthier "equal" State have to pay the subsidy or will the EU pick up the bill?

I think the pseudostate that goes under the name of the TRNC is too small to stand on its own feet. That is why it has to be bailed out by Turkey; that is also why Turkey gets to call all the shots there.

In my view, if there is a settlement the economy of the north will start to integrate with that of the south. Many branches of the economy will expand and there will no longer be any need for subsidies. Detailed economic studies have shown that reunification will benefit the economies of both halves of the island.
