The President of the Democratic Party-Coalition of Democratic Forces (PPD) Mr. Marios Karoyan exercised his right to vote today at the Second Primary School of Egomi, Centre D, in Egomi.
Immediately afterwards, in his statements to journalists, Mr. Karoyan said the following: "Today our democracy is celebrated and our people choose and decide. We have had a long election campaign. But we are reaching the end. Now is the time for decisions. It is election time. The Cypriot people, as they are used to doing, with sobriety, with prudence, but also with a strong sense of responsibility, will choose the leader who will lead us into the new era, who will lead us to face the great challenges, the dangers that lie ahead, but also to take advantage of the opportunities that are offered. The certainties of yesterday are unfortunately not the certainties of tomorrow. There is great insecurity in the region. There are major geopolitical upheavals. There are things we have not learned to deal with. Therefore, this is the time for consensus, unity and composition. It is not enough to know one or two. The wisdom of the many is needed. And it is what we are all called to do because we all love this country. To serve it in the best way possible, leaving behind what has divided us, leaving behind what has hurt us, leaving behind what has not led to securing all that the Cypriot people expected and expect. At this difficult juncture, as I said the last time we were here, tomorrow there can and must be neither winners nor losers. The winner must be the homeland. The winner must be society. The winner must be the young generation. The losers must be all those who have wounded the dignity of this nation, who have hurt or tried to stunt the dreams of the younger generation. All those who have made us for the moment feel inferior to our circumstances. We do not have the right to be inferior to historical circumstances. We have an obligation to rise above ourselves, to pave the way and get our country to where it truly deserves to be. In conclusion, I would like to say that, as last time, the turnout was very significant. People who fight are people who win. Now the people have fate in their own hands and it is up to them how we progress and how we move forward. I appeal to everyone to go to the polls this time too. Non-attendance, non-participation, does not provide solutions. It is presence and participation that gives the message that there is no time to lose. All together as one to win the bet of tomorrow. To ensure stability, perspective and growth. And in addition, to open up new avenues for the new generation. Good vote to all."
