"The Cyprus problem is an existential problem. Without a solution to the Cyprus problem, our existence is in danger," Achilleas Demetriades, candidate for the Presidency of the Republic, said in a statement.
We must not let the fear of a solution prevent us from seeking a better future in a united Cyprus, he stressed. "We must not allow our country to hit the rocks of partition. For five years we have had zero talks."
Here is his statement in full:
We should use the 6 points of the Guterres Framework of 30 June 2017 as a strategic agreement. This is something that President Anastasiades and his three close associates who are currently contesting the popular vote have failed to do. Use the two keys to put the Cyprus problem back on track for a solution: the Euro-Turkish relationship and energy.
A precondition for success is to regain our lost credibility.
Corruption is also a huge issue, because the malfunctioning of the state negatively affects the country's economy and the daily life of its citizens. My answer is the "Honest State."
My own Cabinet, immediately after my election, will appoint criminal investigators for the gold passport scandal. I will also request assistance from the European Public Prosecutor's Office.
The administration of justice is a key component of the Honest State. As far as the Attorney General is concerned, I underline that there is a conflict of interest as he is the head of the prosecuting authority, whereas previously he was the minister who approved the passports in question.[BR] It is very important that the independent authorities of the state are truly independent and not intertwined with the conflict of interest. In the same context, the proposal of Pissarides, Panagiotidis, Syrimis should become the law of the state onθεν Esches.

The choices we make in these elections will determine the future of our country.
The choices we make in these elections will determine the future of our country. The three "major" candidates represent the old, what we need to leave behind. They are reminiscent of choices between chef's pie, celery and baccy, which for those who remember them, was part of the pound. They have their differences, but in essence they are part of the same old coin. They have shown their inability to propose convincing solutions to the daily problems of citizens and the country. It is easier for them - and they consider it more effective - instead of presenting proposals on how to reunite our country and how to finally have a modern, European, honest state, to indulge in unnecessary and fruitless quarrels, dividing and disorienting citizens.
My proposal looks ahead. That's why I came into politics and that's why I will remain in politics.
Cyprus deserves better!"
