A new response to AKEL is given by Democratic Rally, through a short statement, after Giorgos Koukumas accused Averof Neophytou of "reviving the myth of EOKA B" and calling on Pindarou to answer which side of the story he is on.
Specifically, in a statement, DISY says that "Makarios was the leader of the '60s and '70s".
It notes that "today our society needs more collectivity and modern proposals for our country to move forward."
"The Democratic Rally and Averof Neophytou are clearly on the side of the next day and not the previous one," DISY concludes.
Koukumas: "Averof Neophytou brings back the myth of EOKA B"
It is recalled that earlier responding to what DISY President and candidate for the Presidency of the Republic, Averof Neophytou, said yesterday, AKEL press spokesman George Koukumas stressed that: "Yesterday, the President of Synagerimos attacked the late President Makarios, referring to "macabre methods, attitudes and practices". In other words, Averof Neophytou revives the myth of EOKA II that the elected President Makarios was a dictator and that is why they committed the coup."
"In addition," Koukumas noted, "Averof Neophytou added that he and Synergy are 'against' what he called 'McCarthyist practices'. Opposed to Makarios, however, was the traitorous EOKA II, as they will well remember in Pindarou..."
"So if they want to open a historical debate, let them finally admit which side of history they were and are on. And let them also clarify which role Averof Neophytou will play: that of the current anti-Macarian apologist of EOKA II or the one who in 2016 glorified Makarios in a commemorative speech?"
