In the immediate future, DIKO wants to clear the scene in terms of consultations with the opposition parties for the presidential election and for the party to make its own political decisions, DIKO President Nicolas Papadopoulos said today.
In statements after a tree planting at the Sculpture Park of Ayia Napa Municipality and asked whether DIKO has come up with a person who can represent it in the upcoming presidential elections, Papadopoulos replied that "consultations continue after the decision of the party's Congress so that we manage to formulate cooperation with the opposition parties".
He added that "these discussions are continuing, from our side with every goodwill and good faith, but on the other hand we must note that these discussions cannot continue for a prolonged period of time."
"Therefore, we want in the immediate future to clarify the situation and make our own political decisions," he said.
Asked whether there are options in the frame, Nicolas Papadopoulos replied that "for DIKO there are options, indeed".
At the same time, he thanked the GODHK and the Famagusta NEDHK for the tree planting initiative as, he said, "we all have a duty towards the environment so that we can not only protect it but also improve the quality of life of all citizens". "With this symbolic tree planting we believe that we are also contributing partially, even in this way, to addressing the problems arising from climate change", he added.
Papadopoulos also expressed his thanks "to the Mayor and the Municipal Council of Ayia Napa for giving us permission to proceed with this tree planting in this beautiful Sculpture Park built by the Municipality and upgrading the tourist product of Cyprus".
For his part, the Mayor of Ayia Napa Christos Zannettou welcomed DIKO President Nicolas Papadopoulos and thanked the GODIK, NEDIK and the District Committee of the party for this initiative and said that "environmental awareness is among the priorities and objectives of the Municipality".
He added that "in the last two years we have planted more than 2 and a half thousand trees thus addressing climate change but at the same time enriching our environmental, but also our environment which is intertwined with health issues. At the same time it is intertwined with the name of Ayia Napa which is through the forest and we all know the history of Ayia Napa."
He also mentioned that "today we have enriched the Sculpture Park and we hope that through this strategy we will have in the near future other similar voluntary activities that will support the efforts of the Municipality to improve the environmental and ecological situation."
It is noted that the tree planting had the motto "Save the Earth, Green it" and was carried out in cooperation between the Municipality, DIKO, GODHK and NEDHK Famagusta, aiming to further enrich the Sculpture Park with saplings and bushes and to create more green spaces in Ayia Napa.
