The nominations for the 2023 Presidential Elections were submitted today, Thursday, 5 January 2023, at the "Filoxenia" Conference Centre.
During the submission of his candidacy, Mr: "Anyone who listens to our society knows that citizens are indignant. They are demanding drastic changes in the quality of democracy which is going from bad to worse and leading to the collapse of the economy and the rule of law, but also on the Cyprus problem where successive Governments insist on calling for a solution on the basis of the Annan Plan, a bi-zonal bicommunal federation which is essentially a partnership with Turkey. All this at the expense of the wishes of the overwhelming majority of the Cypriot people. I am also on the same path. As an independent citizen, today I am submitting my candidacy for the presidency of the Republic of Cyprus. I stand by the citizens who finally want something to change in this country. I am fighting against partisanship and I refuse to bargain my honesty with any party. I refuse to compromise with the monster of corruption.
These positions on the Cyprus problem and on fighting partisanship bring me face to face with all three party candidates who are not only supported by the party leaderships, they are supported by President Anastasiades, who bears enormous responsibility for the situation we are in today. The ballot box, we must know, is not a magic box. Whatever we put in will come out, and if we as citizens decide to vote as we have always voted, we will have politics as we have always known it, corrupt and unaccountable, and we do not want that. So let us make a decision to vote following our conscience, let us finally make the peaceful revolution. Only then will we see a prosperous Cyprus, only then will we have a democracy worthy of children. Thank you."
