SYNKENTHEA’s President Antonis Hadjiantonis said that foreign
circles, particularly from the United States, are pushing for these measures,
which the cabaret-owners consider unjust.“We are not living off the profits of
prostitution and we are being unjustly slandered. The authorities are at war
with us, following instructions by the USA, which - for political reasons - is
trying to present Cyprus as a country where foreign women are being exploited,”
Hadjiantonis told a press conference in Limassol yesterday.Hadjiantonis warned
that if the measures are implemented, the cabaret-owners will take “dynamic
measures”, as their livelihood would be in danger. The cabaret-owners pointed
out that it is difficult to find female EU citizens who are willing to come to
Cyprus to work at nightclubs. The cabaret-owners also complained that they were
not consulted when the decision-making process was taking place, even though
their interests are directly at stake. “Why are they ignoring us and what role
did the USA and some foreign circles play? Even members of the Holy Synod were
called at Parliament during the discussion of the issue of prostitution and
exploitation, but we were not called,” Hadjiantonis said.SYNKENTHEA described as
‘myth’ that women working in cabarets are pushed into prostitution. Hadjiantonis
said that police statistics indicate that out of the 192 prostitution cases in
the last three years, only 42 involved cabaret employees.“As for the cases that
involved women working in cabarets, only 22 cases went to court and in none of
these cases was a cabaret-owner found guilty,” he added.Hadjiantonis also lashed
out at the police, suggesting that police officers are taking inappropriate
measures against cabaret-owners. “We want the police to stop using people with
criminal records, in the same way they do with drug cases, in a bid to trap
cabaret-owners, even resorting to using photocopied banknotes,” he said.
