The press office of the independent candidate for the Presidency of the Republic said in a statement that a government of collective responsibility is required as never before, Marios Iliades, condemning the unacceptable events that took place on Thursday night both outside the building of the Parliament and outside the offices of the EPP, by a group of nostalgics of the abnormal pre-coup period, with bashing and insults against MPs and parties, vandalism, stonings and obsolete slogans.
It is added that everything that happened was planned and deliberate and proves that 48 years after the treacherous coup and the destruction of democracy, there are still people among us who have not only learned nothing and have not repented, but also seek and are ready at any moment to return Cyprus to the times of the great division.
For what happened there are specific people responsible: They are the organisers of the rally, namely the Grivas Digenis Foundation and ELAM, it says.
It is further noted that what is at stake is the future of the entire Republic of Cyprus and all its people and that returning us to the years of anomaly and division would be self-destructive.
Tolerance towards anything that undermines democratic institutions must be met with determination and collectivity, it is underlined.
And only a government of collective responsibility can face with seriousness, unity, determination and effectiveness any internal and external danger, the statement concludes.
