The Central Committee of the Movement of Ecologists-Civic Co-operation, which met on Saturday, discussed the issue of the upcoming presidential elections and the next steps of the party.
According to a statement by the Movement, decisions have been taken[/B] and the Political Committee of the Movement will proceed with contacts and decisions based on the following parameters.[/B] We have judged the last nine years of the Anastasiades government as tragic for the environmental future of the country in particular, but also for the socio-economic situation in which our state has found itself. And the prevalence of undignified, unreliable and untrustworthy behaviour during the Anastasiades government has endangered both our international reputation and the chances of a just solution to the Cyprus problem."
"We will therefore approach the presidential elections on the basis of our programmatic positions. We will seek cooperation with a candidate whose program is compatible with the majority of our positions, recognizing that we do not rule out cooperation with any party except ELAM and DISY. Meetings will be held with those candidates or parties that wish to cooperate with us on the basis of the above parameters", the Movement of Ecologists clarifies.
It also notes that "we will seek to support a candidate who has the guarantees to be elected and to promote our common positions as included in his/her electoral program to ensure an economically sustainable and environmentally viable future for the country."
We will seek to support a candidate who has the guarantees to be elected and to promote our common positions as included in his/her electoral program to ensure an economically sustainable and environmentally viable future for the country. However, we are not prepared to retreat to red lines of our political ideology and goals just to support a candidate who can be elected."
"Depending on the results of these initial contacts, a new meeting of the Central Committee will be held to take further decisions," the Ecologists conclude.
