On 1st March 2016 student elections were held in our University for the election of the new Council of the Student Union of the Cyprus University of Technology (TEPAK). The students sent out a strong message by voting the Movement of Progressive Students "PROODEFTIKI" for the 9th year in a row as the first student force and for the 4th consecutive year with an overall majority with 53.61% of the votes.
We thank all our classmates who with their support give us the possibility to continue to struggle for a strong and assertive Student Union of the Cyprus University of Technology; to continue to struggle for students, with the students.
With this election, the Cyprus University of Technology students sent out a powerful message against the austerity policies of the Anastasiades-DISY party government and the Troika, who want a weak student movement. The students sent a message that only in the Left is there a perspective and a hope. We pledge that we will fulfil the enormous responsibility given to us by our fellow students, to fight for new gains and assertions for the benefit of all students.
WE CONTINUE THE STRUGGLE FROM WHERE WE HAVE NEVER STOPPED!
