May[/B] is a decisive month for the EPP in view of the presidential elections, deciding how to move forward in the big electoral battle of 2023.
At the Movement's offices, they are looking at their books and awaiting the return of Nicolas Papadopoulos in order to arrange the meeting with Marinos Sizopoulos.
"We will initiate meetings this week and possibly next week with parties which we consider to be in a closer position as far as the EPP is concerned, on Cyprus issues, but also on social and economic policy issues," Marinos Sizopoulos said yesterday, noting that his party's stance will depend on the final decisions taken by the other parties, as well as on the formation of the political scene."
The three conditions
As is known, on the basis of what was determined during the March 20 nationwide meeting, the EDEK is willing to engage in a dialogue of cooperation with parties - apart from DISY - on the basis of the following three conditions.
The dialogue of any parties involved should start from scratch and on the basis of parity. In the dialogue, convergences and divergences should be discussed and recorded, and as far as the issue of arriving at a candidate is concerned, a list of possible names should be discussed beforehand, not excluding party leaders.
Sources from the EDEK say that there is no willingness to cooperate with parties that have already made announcements, thus cutting off any bridges for cooperation.
"Neither to impose, but neither to impose positions and choices on us" was the comment of a person well aware of the developments in the EDEK.
However, as the Cyprus Times is informed, the priority for the EDEK remains the exploration of cooperation with a party and which party is "closer" than DIKO. However, the issue of an autonomous descent remains on the table, although the internal issues that plague the movement are something that cannot be ignored.
