The parties supporting Christodoulides' candidacy are on the counterattack on the secret agreements.
The controversial article in the newspaper "Politis" about non-papers between the candidate and the parties stirred up a storm of reactions with Nikos Christodoulides's opponents asking for explanations.
- "They can't even get a forgery right." Nicolas again denies secret agreement
- Averov's staff shoots Christodoulides. "He agreed on some things with N. Papadopoulos, others with Sizopoulos and others with Karoyan."
The newspaper came back today asking the parties supporting Christodoulides' candidacy to make the secret agreements public.
The article speaks of silence which leaves DIKO, EDEK and DPA exposed regarding what preceded and led to an agreement to support Christodoulides' candidacy.
DIKO Secretariat meets
For its part, DIKO is expected to consider ways to react in the afternoon when the party's Secretariat meets on the issue.
"They can't even get a forgery right..." says Nicolas
Earlier in a new post on social media, the DIKO president reiterated that this is fake news, referring to forgery as well.
As he noted, "so serious is the "document" "revealed" by "Politis" which says that if Nikos Christodoulides does not become President, we will make him... Mayor!".
He adds that "they can't even get a forgery right..."
"The EDEK did not and does not make any agreement behind closed doors"
The EDEK also issued a statement on the whole issue where it speaks of expediency.
As it stresses, "the newspaper Politis comes back today asking why the EPP is not releasing the alleged secret agreement it made with Nikos Christodoulides. The question is understandable. In a political scene that has learned to make deals behind closed doors, yes it is reasonable to ask these questions. But what the newspaper fails to understand is that the EPP has not made and is not making any deals behind closed doors. And this is where the diversity of Nikos Christodoulides' candidacy lies. Everything is done in the light and everything is done transparently.
We fully understand what the latest publications of the newspaper Politis are aimed at. We urge it to deal with its own affairs."
Attack by DISY - Averoff Staff
The Averoff Staff for its part did not remain uninvolved, launching a scathing attack against Christodoulides and the parties that support him.
Mrs. Giorgia Constantinou-Panagiotou in statements demanded explanations noting that "Mr. Christodoulides agreed on some things with Nicolas Papadopoulos, others with Marinos Sizopoulos and others with Marios Karoyan. That is why he refuses to make these secret agreements public. What emerges from his secret agreement with DIKO is that he has become the weak link in the consortium of interests that supports him," he noted.
"The country cannot be governed by parties that need secret agreements to cooperate," he concluded.
