Our Cyprus is the one of change and the creation of a better tomorrow for its people, said independent candidate for the Presidency of the Republic, Andreas Mavroyiannis, during his tour of the Paphos district yesterday.
During a political rally in Polis Chrysochous, A. Mavroyiannis stressed that we need to upgrade political discourse, ethics and political style. "Above all, we need to cultivate the culture that politicians are at the service of the citizen and that is why it is very important to be judged on the result," he continued.
In front of a crowd of people he said that, "with our election we will set goals and ambitions to leave a better tomorrow for our children."
Referring to the Cyprus problem, he stressed that we are playing for time and if we don't do something, our Cyprus will be divided.
He stressed that we are aiming for a solution on the basis of the IHL, with political equality, as defined by the relevant UN resolutions, the Christofias-Talat convergences and the six Guterres points. "A solution that will free our land from occupation and Turkish guarantees. It will reunite Greek and Turkish Cypriots and ensure freedom of movement and settlement, the right to property, human rights and EU principles", he noted.
A. Mavroyiannis also spoke about scandals, corruption and the non-existence of justice. "It is imperative that the state, through good administration, assumes its responsibilities in order to perform its duty and shake off the phenomena of corruption," he explained.
He pointed out that we are the state with the highest proportion of people holding university degrees among EU states, but also the last state in terms of youth prospects.
"We are here to re-create hope for young people, so that they can create and take the helm of Cyprus in the future," he said.

He also stressed that punctuality is plaguing households and that there are now people whose wages are not enough to pay the rent.
He noted that solutions exist, as long as there is the necessary political will. "We have drawn up concrete proposals: full reimbursement of the ATA, based on the variation of inflation and its extension for all workers. Restore the reduction of VAT on electricity from 19% to 9% and abolish the double tax on fuel," he said, among other things.
He concluded by talking about the necessary support for the countryside, with the creation of services so that our young people can stay in the countryside. "We want a countryside that is self-sufficient and autonomous, that has the necessary services and can attract businesses," he added.
