The union of doctors working at EOPYY has announced its decision to extend its ongoing strike until the 3rd of January 2014, accusing the Ministry of subverting the discussions.

The decision to extend the ongoing strike came in response to the Ministry of Health’s unexpected choice to include a relevant amendment in the controversial primary residence auction bill, only a day after resuming discussions.

The primary residence auction bill, which was meant to regulate the current ban in place, controversially included a wealth of irrelevant amendments that the Ministry of Finances was eventually pressured into withdrawing.
