Shortly before the conclusion of the Pancyprian Conference of the EPEK-today-and the upcoming election process, scheduled for tomorrow, Sunday, Nicolas Christou announced that he is withdrawing his candidacy for the vice-presidency of the EPP, leaving... "spikes".
Specifically, Nicolas Christou, in a written statement said that "I do not subscribe to blatantly hypocritical procedures that are a hubris for democratic institutions and conflict, head-on, with everything that the ideals of socialism and the history of the EPP dictate. The tragic manipulations of the last few days concerning the conclusion of the Pancyprian Congress, as well as the taking of indefensible decisions, are, once again, an insult to the whole of the Edekites and beyond. Therefore, I have withdrawn - in protest - my candidacy for the Vice Presidency of the Movement."
Describing as "unacceptable methods and practices of the leadership of the EDEK", referring to the President of the party, Marinos Sizopoulos, he clarifies that "they will not defuse the already tense situation and will certainly not solve any problem".
On the contrary, he adds, "they will, unfortunately, with mathematical precision, lead the Movement to greater introversion, intensify the rivalry and possibly trigger further legal adventures, with all that this entails".
In conclusion, in a postscript, he states that "I may not have been very sure what I was really interested in, but I was absolutely sure what I was not interested in.And I was never interested in covering up serial transgressions, political suicides and political murderers."
