The announcement of Andreas Mavroyiannis, DISY's press spokesman Dimitris Demetriou comments through a written statement.[/B]
"It is respectful of Mr. Mavroyiannis' right to declare his candidacy for the presidential elections. However, contrary to his claim, we note the complete lack of independence, since today's announcement is fully dependent on the decisions of AKEL", it says.
It also notes that "even the positions of Mr. Mavroyiannis on the Cyprus issue, which do not differ in the slightest from those of President Anastasiades, but which come into frontal conflict with the AKEL narrative".
"We wonder how people who have never disagreed or differentiated anywhere can appear as agents of change, progressive or otherwise," adds Demetriou.
In conclusion, he says that "we continue. We are unfolding our party's plan and our candidate's program. We know that with a strong Democratic Rally and Averof Neophytou leading the way, we can see the coming years with stability, confidence and security."
