The stakes of the elections are to manage to keep the country on a stable path of development with a stable government to deal with global uncertainty and only an experienced, tested and capable leader like Averof Neophytou ensures this, MP and Deputy President of DISY Xaris Georgiades told the plenary session.
At the same time, he expressed regret for the unnecessary stirring up of divisive passions and the attempt for polarization and aggravation attempted by the opposition, saying that instead of seeing how the country will move forward, we are attempting to divide it again.
Georgiades said that one should consider what this government received ten years ago and what it is delivering, saying that the large deficits it received had left us exposed to hardship. He asked if we did not have surpluses in 2020 how would the citizens have been supported when the pandemic came, adding that actions count in difficult times and for another year the Ministry of Finance and the government are putting before us a balanced budget with reserves in the coffers, because these are our protection shield and shield us.
The DISY MP also said that it is irresponsible to spend recklessly especially in election periods and leave the bill to others, saying that the state does not have a money center or a machine with euros and what it spends, it collects from taxpayers. He said, among other things, that inflation cannot be dealt with by increasing spending and hence the government's measures are targeted and calculated.
Georgiades said that a strong economy is a matter of national survival, gives influence to the decision-making centres and is a prerequisite for a stable government with a credible foreign policy, with a Western and European orientation that does not tread in two boats.
