By Nikos GeorgiouThrough the speech of Nicolas Papadopoulos in his party's central committee, in his introduction for the planned support of the candidacy of Nicos Christodoulides for the presidency, he revealed his political stature which anyone can easily measure.

Unfortunately, for the leadership of the PPP. there are still citizens who do not get carried away with slogans and image, who do not become fanboys but have political thinking, criteria and a sense to discern the petty political expediencies of everyone. Expediencies that must be pointed out and denounced if we want the country's course to remain stable and secure, based on principles and the values that politics stands for. Which is none other than the progress and prosperity of the country and its people.
Nicolas Papadopoulos' speech was full of contradictory messages, which highlighted the erratic, politically inexplicable and uninterpretable behavior of the leadership of the Democratic Party of Greece,
In his attempt to justify the unjustifiable, he spoke without political terms in general, slogans and vague terms.

In his attempt to justify the unjustifiable, he spoke without political terms in general, slogans and vague terms. He proceeded to adopt a fabricated and unethical whisper that falls within the framework of polemics aimed at causing damage to the candidacy of President Averof Neophytou. In his speech he said that "Society does not want a president who is under every stone". And yet, this paltry statement of the bandwagon did not come from a mere member of the opposition, nor from a cafe owner, but from a political leader
A political leader whose father was the President of this state. He should tell us whether stones were raised during the term of office of Tassos Papadopoulos. If they were, he has an obligation to inform the people of the results of their actions. And if they were not lifted until today, he has to tell the citizens why he did not do so, what he did for so long, but he also has to point them out, lift them and report his complaints.
At the same time, how can Mr Papadopoulos convince why he worked closely for more than a decade with a politician "who is under every stone" on a number of issues related to the rescue of the Cypriot economy.
How can Nicolas Papadopoulos talk about being against the establishment, when he himself is the definition but also owes the entirety of his political presence to the economic, banking and political establishment of our country since 1960. A network that brought him up and maintains him to this day as President of DIKO.
How can Nicolas Papadopoulos supposedly refer to decisions that have harmed the country and its citizens when for decades, despite tons of ink and allegations written about the money laundering scandal of Slobodan Milosevic, which remain unresolved in Cyprus and abroad to this day.
How can Nicolas Papadopoulos today appeal to civil society that it is the time of citizens and not of parties. A society which he had written on the back of his shoes, when a few months ago he selfishly promoted his party agenda, supposedly his own party leadership candidacy for a partnership with AKEL, and when he alternatively found closed doors, he proposed the deputy president of his party.
If, for example, Mr. Papadopoulos's initial project succeeded, then he would be talking about the cooperation of progressive and neighboring forces that would fight with party patriotism to govern the country.
How can Nicolas Papadopoulos support the Foreign Minister and for 9 years a member of President Anastasiades' negotiating team on the Cyprus problem, when this was the reason why the party left the government and a few years later called on President Anastasiades to harakiri on the Cyprus problem.
So, you will not find President Averof Neophytou under stones, but at the forefront, in the front line of decisions and patriotic responsibility, where the battles are fought for the prosperity and salvation of the homeland, in the difficult times when he was tested and brought results for the country as a worthy political child of the late Glafkos Clerides and his political thinking and with the Democratic Rally united and leading in every battle for the country.
