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 think at the ballot box, and not only, everyone should be equal. And I think this is very important especially at a time when Turkey's heightened threats against our country and the consequences of the economic crisis that our compatriots are experiencing largely determine these presidential elections, which will have a direct bearing on the future of our country, our people and especially the new generation. Citizens, with our mass presence at the polls and with our vote, we can shape our future, which is why the most important thing for us in these elections, with our choice, is to shape the future. And we believe that everything that has divided us so far must be left in the past. We should unite our forces so that as a people we can claim a better future."
Asked about abstention, Sizopoulos said: "Abstention will exist. I hope that the abstention will be to a lesser extent than in the last parliamentary elections and possibly to a lesser extent next Sunday. Citizens must realize that abstention is not going to win us anything. But by participating we can help shape our future and we can be responsible for what our country will be able to face and determine in the future. Thank you. Good luck."
