The Movement of Ecologists for Citizens' Co-operation is holding a meeting next Monday with the candidate for the Presidency of the Republic, Nicos Christodoulides, as part of its recent meetings with parties and candidates in view of the 2023 presidential elections.
This was stated by the Movement's President, Charalambos Theopeptou, at a press conference on Thursday morning, saying that they are expected to receive Christodoulides at 3:30 pm. on Monday, following a request made by the candidate himself.
"We have not received any other requests," Theopeptou added, while saying that they have already met with almost all the independent candidates, as well as with the DIKO and AKEL parties. "The internal process for us is to look at the correspondence, the positions and the discussions we have had, we will have a meeting of the Central Committee, we will discuss the possible options we have and with whom we are likely to continue the discussion", Theopeptou explained, referring to the next steps regarding the presidential election.
As the Movement President said, at this stage the first item on the agenda is the green changes coming from the EU after the Green Deal, while setting important targets, he said, by 2030, so that in eight years the things that Cyprus is lagging behind can be done.
In particular, he referred to the case of fuel, saying that "because the EU targets for renewable energy in transport were not met, the government is now buying emission allowances and passing the cost on to consumers", noting that after the change in fuel taxation policy, the cost will rise even more.
"The effort is to bring to the forefront the serious changes that need to be made so that the next government is really green and has a concern for both the environment, and for society, and for all the areas that have been neglected now, such as for example punctuality, housing, the problems faced by artists, so that we can really bring the great change that we dream of for our country," he concluded. Theopeptou.
