They certainly ignore and pass over the fact that in order to reach the Cyprus of 2040, our country must first survive politically, economically, socially and nationally until then.
He, therefore, who will be called upon to lead Cyprus in the next five years, will have to manage a series of multiple crises and challenges, difficult and decisive decisions that will determine the future of the country in at least three pillars. Cyprus Solution Path[/B]
Our national issue remains open, with the hourglass of time running dangerously empty; we need the new TFG to believe in the need to resume talks immediately, activating the international community and using the energy issue as a catalyst for the Cyprus solution path. A president who will exorcise the Cassandras and change the fate of the course towards the partition of our country. We need the new PDP to have sincere political positions, with an eye on the solution of our national problem, which is the result of his actions and not the result of meaningless statements of a compromise and balance of political positions of an opportunistic disparate alliance for the sake of power.
B. New global economic crisis
It is said that Europe is preparing to experience one of the most difficult winters since World War II, as a consequence of the direct side effects of the war in Ukraine. Energy prices are skyrocketing, so are food prices, shortages of various products are numerous, while inflationary flare-ups are again creating the perfect economic storm.
Cyprus, as part of the tottering global economy, is inevitably also receiving an imported crisis. Every decision of the Parliament and the Government has a direct impact on the assessment of the Cyprus economy and most importantly on the pockets of the citizens. It is for this reason that there should be a captain at the helm of the country who has a crew, who knows the seas, who has strong sails, to lead the country to safe harbours and not for the country to look like a windswept ship, drifting without a compass. Such policies as a country were adopted in the past and led us to the financial crisis of 2012.
C. Geopolitical developments
In the new geopolitical scenario that is violently taking shape, Cyprus cannot tread in two boats; what is needed is the non-negotiable identification of our country with law, truth and the eternal principles of justice and international law. Our country has acted in the past with political vacillations and uncommitted policies that have exposed it, giving diplomatic space and international alliances to Turkey. Even if the war in Ukraine ends, nothing will ever be the same again in international relations.
It is for this reason that the future of our country is being decided TODAY. On our decisions depends the election of a serious and responsible leadership. This is the patriotism of the modern age, speaking the language of TRUTH and standing on principle in a rapidly and dangerously changing world. The only candidate today who can credibly cope and guarantee the safe course of the country in the future is none other than Averof Neophytou. As Abraham Lincoln said:
"The best way to predict the future is to create it."
