The reaction from the Democratic Rally is immediate after the "green light" given by the Central Committee of DIKO to support the candidacy of Christodoulides in the upcoming presidential elections.
In a written statement, DISY notes that "as of today, Mr. Nikos Christodoulides is officially the willing partner in the attempt of the DIKO leadership to return to the government at all costs."
It notes that "it puts an end to the hypocrisy of the fake "independence". The agreements that were made long ago, behind closed doors and with the only thing in common is the extreme desire of DIKO and Mr Christodoulides to rise and share power."
"Mr. Christodoulides is officially the candidate of DIKO. He chooses in the most emphatic way to stand up to the party and the people of the Democratic Rally," DISY adds.
"DIKO and Mr Christodoulides are cooperating, as they themselves state, on the basis of a policy framework prepared by DIKO. But what is this framework? And what are the positions of Mr Christodoulides that DIKO has accepted, if any?"
He also points out that "citizens are entitled to know the content of this transaction. Especially since DIKO is calling for a change in the direction of the country, to which Mr Christodoulides has apparently consented. This is the big difference compared to any other partnership that would have as its main core the Democratic Rally and its policies."
"We do not expect that DIKO and its candidate will give the due explanations about the content of this partnership. The answer will be given by the citizens who now have clear choices in front of them."
