The exchange of "fire" between Democratic Synergy and AKEL continues without end.
In response to what DISY President and presidential candidate Averof Neophytou said yesterday, AKEL's press spokesman, George Koukumas, stresses in a statement today that: "Yesterday, the President of Synagerimos attacked the late President Makarios, referring to "macabre methods, attitudes and practices". In other words, Averof Neophytou revives the myth of EOKA II that the elected President Makarios was a dictator and that is why they committed the coup."
"In addition," Koukumas notes, "Averof Neophytou added that he and Synergy are 'against' what he called 'McCarthyist practices'. Opposed to Makarios, however, was the traitorous EOKA II, as they will well remember in Pindarou..."
"So if they want to open a historical debate, let them finally admit which side of history they were and are on. And let them also clarify what role Averof Neophytou will play: The current anti-Macarian apologist of EOKA B or the one who in 2016 glorified Makarios in a memorial speech?"
