The President of the EDEK - Socialist Party, Mr.Marinos Sizopoulos, exercised his right to vote today at the Neapolis High School, Centre B, in Limassol.
Immediately afterwards, in his statements to journalists, Mr.Sizopoulos said the following: "I call on all citizens en masse to exercise their right to vote, because today it is precisely the citizens who decide our future. And it is very important that this decision is made with calm, with sobriety and not with emotion. Because it is very important to determine the future of our country, the future of our people, the future of the new generation. And from our choice it is very important not to allow, if possible, to return to difficult times. Not to return to the era of impoverishment of our people, of social groceries and soup kitchens, of increased unemployment and the compulsory emigration of our young people abroad, while struggling to protect the vulnerable groups of our population from the heavy social and economic consequences they are facing due to the prolonged economic crisis. And above all, the issues of unjust disposals, to avoid homelessness, but most importantly, to offer a safety net to all those in real need today. And I would like to take this opportunity to condemn, to censure, the unacceptable statement of the representative of the Secretary-General and his reference to the Turkish Cypriot people, where in essence Mr. Stewart, once again, outside the principles of the United Nations Charter and resolutions, instead of promoting the principles of the International Organization, in essence becomes a representative of Turkish interests and Turkish positions. This is unacceptable and a fact that should concern us very much, all political forces, and you know, on the part of the EPP, for some time now we have been publicly stating our positions and our views. We must not continue to tolerate this kind of behaviour from the representative of the Secretary General in our country. Thank you very much."
