"The elephant in the room" is Nicos Anastasiades and the Anastasiades government and it is not our concern who will meet the elephant, the genuine copy or the imitation, AKEL Parliamentary Representative George Loukaides said, expressing sadness because the opposition parties, instead of criticising the entire Anastasiades - DISY government, say that it will be judged by the historian of the future. The only candidate who with clear positions and credibility can bring clean change and change things, he said, is Andreas Mavroyiannis and referred several times to "Averof - Christodoulides, the Anastasiades genus."
In his speech in Parliament during the debate on the 2023 Budget, Mr. Loukaides referred to "achievements" of the Anastasiades government, listing negative performance based on indicators of the Auditor General, Eurostat and other European institutions for individual sectors of the economy, workers' wages, accuracy, corruption, green growth, renewable energy, etc. He criticized Nicos Christodoulides for covering up and covering up the decisions of the Anastasiades administration and for 10 years, but even now, he has not said "a word of criticism". He questioned when Christodoulides voted differently for the Co-operative and asked Averof Neophytou if it was his aim to strengthen CYTA the bill he submitted for its privatization, as he did with the Ports Authority, where the Auditor General discovered scandals.
The legacy in the Cyprus problem, Loukaides said, is the flirtation with the two states and the only one who spoke about this flirtation of President Anastasiades was Andreas Mavroyiannis and Giannakis Kasoulides. "Some were silenced and today they claim the vote of the people. Some supported regressions, vacillations and inconsistency," he said. Some, he continued, warned about Famagusta, and that was Andreas Mavroyiannis, while Nikos Christodoulides said in the summer of 2019 that it was a bluff by the Turks, and was covered by his party, DISY. He spoke of policies that made sanctions against Turkey an end in itself and put Cyprus in an awkward position in Europe, where Greece still found it difficult to defend it. Others would give up, "but where is the decency?" he said. George Loukaides said that an honourable compromise on the TIR is the only way "not to build on sand."
