"We must respect our institutions and our party," Averoff said, sending a clear message to Nikos Christodoulides.
Through his first nominal reference to the Foreign Minister of the Anastasiades government, the DISY President is attempting to put pressure on Nicos Christodoulides to clarify his position, as next Monday DISY is submitting nominations for the presidential election. However, he came forward days ago clarifying his position for the presidential election.
"In the Democratic Rally, we have 7 days for the nominations. My interest is a given. Everyone and everyone interested must respect and respect democratic institutions, respect our party. And that applies to everyone and of course it applies to Niko. Niko is a member of our party and a minister in our government. It is our duty and obligation and the right thing to do to respect, I repeat, the party and none of us, not even I who am the chairman of the party, are above and none of us are greater than the Democratic Rally. Through the democratic processes, whoever wins, we will stand by him, a fist, for the good of our country, for the good of our party," Averof said yesterday.
On the possibility of Christodoulides to run as an independent candidate, Averof Neophytou referred to him, indicating, however, that the Minister is in favor of the party.
However, amid nervousness while the landscape remains blurred, Pindarou is preparing for the submission of nominations to contest the nomination of the candidate for the office of President of the Republic on Monday. Averof Neophytou has already clarified his position by announcing his intentions for the Presidency and Monday's procedure is only a formality.
On the other hand, Nicos Christodoulides is maintaining silence, with time counting down to Monday. While any observer can say that it is unlikely that the Foreign Minister will claim the nomination through the party process on Monday, no one can know for sure what his next step will be.
