The candidate for the Presidency of the Republic, Marios Iliades, says he has taken the initiative for a series of contacts with the leaderships of the opposition parties, with the aim of preventing the risk of going into the elections "dismembered". The failure to finalise the dialogue between the two major opposition parties AKEL and DIKO for cooperation in the 2023 presidential elections is a "blow" to the need and demand of the people to end the current "unsuccessful and destructive for the country ten-year governance", Eliades said in a written statement.
Without in any way wishing to go into the internal affairs of the parties and question the sincerity of their efforts so far, I believe that AKEL and DIKO owe it to the people not to abandon the whole effort, but leaving behind what has not allowed them to reach an agreement so far, to continue the consultation in cooperation with the other opposition parties (EDEK, In order to find the personality that can unite them in the common goal of getting rid of the current governance of corruption, the preferential treatment of the privileged, the impoverishment of a large part of the people and the complete end of the efforts to resolve the Cyprus problem.
