Tele-fighting should not be limited to party candidates, independent candidate for the presidency of the Republic Marios Eliades said in a statement on Wednesday.
According to Mr. Iliades, "the opportunism of the party candidates, either those who admit it or those who appear under the mantle of the independent, will not pass," adding that he will do everything in his power "so that another election does not turn into a two-speed race."
"Tele-fighting, better known as debates, should not be limited between party candidates," he said, adding that "it is the right and expectation of the people to have all views put before them."
To this end, he adds. Eliades will send a letter within the next few hours to the independent candidates George Kolokasidis, Konstantinos Christofidis, Achilleas Dimitriadis and Christodoulos Protopapas, in which he will invite them to jointly claim equal and fair televotes, and there "we will all compete, as equals, for the people to judge the honesty, ability and quality of ideas, each of us, to serve the citizens".
