The need for the formation of a "government of collective responsibility" on the model of the coalition government that was achieved in Denmark[/B], is again put forward by independent candidate for the presidency of the Republic, Marios Iliades.
"In a country like Cyprus, which is under semi-occupation, threatened daily by its invader with total occupation and national annihilation and at the same time is - like other countries - in the throes of an unprecedented energy and economic crisis, the unity of political forces around a Government of Collective Responsibility, in order to face all these challenges, should already be indispensable," Mr. Iliadis said in a statement today. Iliades.
He cites the latest example of Denmark, where the centre-left Social Democratic Party, the centre-right Liberal Party and the centre-right Moderate Party announced only the day before yesterday an agreement to form a strong coalition government to address the major challenges facing the country, recalling the previous example in Germany, and earlier in Italy, with Mario Draghi's government.
"Despite the fact that I personally pointed out this necessity and national obligation from the very first moment I filed my candidacy for the presidential elections, I have unfortunately received no response whatsoever," he says.
"Regardless of the refusal I encountered, I still believe that this is the only and the most secure and effective way to successfully deal with the huge problems we face, but above all to secure our existence as a country and as a people", notes Mr. Eliades.
Clarifying that his proposal "has nothing to do with the much-publicized announcement of my opponent Mr. Nikos Christodoulides, that he will form a government of national unity, of the 'mix grill' type, with the participation of persons with disparate, conflicting and contradictory approaches to all issues." Iliades concludes by saying that his own proposal "is that the joining of forces around a Government of Collective Responsibility must have a stable background and a clear common component".
