Presidential candidate Achilleas Demetriades met today with the President and the Executive Bureau of DIKO.
The meeting was productive and provided an opportunity for an exchange of views on the most important issues concerning the Presidential Elections.
A. Demetriades presented key points from the Outline of Positions he made public with the announcement of his independent candidacy on 28 February that focus on three pillars: first, the "Honourable State" and the fight against corruption; second, the sustainable economy and the shift to green growth; and third, the Cyprus problem and the prevention of partition.
During the meeting, Demetriades noted a convergence of positions with the DIKO leadership on the need to free the country from the deadlocks brought about by the 10-year Anastasiades government. Demetriades underlined the responsibility of the members of the outgoing government, both in relation to the situation in the Cyprus problem, which is on the verge of partition, and the extensive corruption and the defamation of Cyprus with the golden passports.
Further, Demetriades noted the common anxiety with the DIKO leadership on the Cyprus problem and put forward his proposal to exploit two keys that lead to breaking the deadlock: first, the energy issue and second, the exploitation of the Euro-Turkish relationship. A prerequisite, he stressed, is the recovery of our credibility and engagement with European interests.
Finally, Dimitriades underlined his own categorical position that he will never compromise with the partition of both states.
