DISY President and candidate for the Presidency of the Republic Averof Neophytou has been looking forward to today. On the afternoon of Friday 17 June, the closed sports hall Eleftheria-Tassos Papadopoulos will host for him important personalities, who will attend the political-ideological congress of DISY. The Prime Minister of Greece Kyriakos Mitsotakis, the President of the Republic Nicos Anastasiades and the head of the European People's Party, Manfred Weber, will vote for Averof Neophytou, in the biggest electoral challenge of his political career. The congress, which is a milestone for DISY and a milestone in the campaign for the presidential elections, will conclude on Saturday with the adoption of the Ideological and Political Declaration.
Presidential candidate Nicos Christodoulides appeared emotional at a meeting organised by his supporters on Wednesday afternoon at the Cleopatra Hotel. One of the highlights of the event was the introductory intervention by a graduate of the University of Cyprus, as a representative of the new generation. "I ask you to respond to the mud with a smile" was Nikos Christodoulides' exhortation to those gathered, who "responded" with prolonged applause. A similar rally was held on Thursday in Larnaca, and on Tuesday in Limassol.
Like a bolt from the blue, AKEL was struck by the proposal made by Presidential candidate Andreas Mavroyiannis on television for the sale of Cypriot natural gas to Turkey with the Cyprus problem unresolved. The position is not compatible with the proposal by AKEL, as well as other parties, to transfer gas to Turkey after the solution. Left-wing party officials who were asked to comment on Mavroyiannis' proposal carefully separated their position, without exposing the candidate. In any case, however, this issue, as much as it serves the independence narrative of Andreas Mavroyiannis, has highlighted the need for better coordination especially on such serious issues.
