As Representative of the Latin Community minority I have a consultative (non-party political) role in educational and religious issues which may affect the Latin Catholic Cypriots in a different way to the rest of the population. I am Member of the Parliament Standing Committee on Educational Affairs and Culture. Additionally I am an observer in the Plenary Assembly. In general, I act as the link between the interest of the Latin Catholic Community and Government authorities (ministries, local authorities, police, judiciary, etc). My other interest is to highlight the presence of the Latin Community within Cyprus and to encourage the interaction between its members – through re-organising and supporting the Latin Youth Association, establishing and working with the Latin Women’s Association, promoting the use by Latin members of The Latin Centre in Nicosia for cultural events and presentations … and other such activities. I also want to encourage more eligible Latin Catholics to register as voters. For more general information on the Latin Catholic Community, please visit www.latincatholicsofcyprus.com and for further information please do not hesitate to contact me.
