It is with deepest sadness that I am obliged to intervene in what has been recorded in recent days, as a result of the electoral failure in the first round of the elections.
An intervention that aims at a sober reflection on where our historical party is heading.
During the long presence of the Democratic Rally, we have experienced significant electoral successes and painful defeats.
The founder and historical leader Glafkos Clerides, never deviated and never allowed, either publicly or in the collective bodies of the party, unacceptable insinuations to be made against ordinary members, let alone historical members of the party.
A leadership attitude that allowed us to calmly deal with each result by recognizing the real causes of failure and united to move forward even stronger.
In opposition to the orchestrated attempt by some to discredit the great achievements of the decade-long governance and especially the unethical attempt to smear my name and always with a view to preserving the unity of our historical party and the well-meaning interests of our Cyprus, I appeal to all to immediately put an end to the confrontations between members so that the members and friends of the Democratic Rally are consciously left to decide freely.
I consciously choose not to express my own position for or against the two candidates, but what I am not allowed to do is to ignore the decision of the Political Bureau which, among other things, sets as the intended goals of a creative opposition:
(a) the reunification of our homeland through a clear European and Western orientation and not to disrupt the strong strategic alliances we have achieved with countries of the region and the United States.USA.
(b) maintaining fiscal discipline and stability in order to avoid phenomena that led us to bankruptcy.
[C]
(c) effective management of migration.
In conclusion, I would like to reiterate that the unity, cohesion and credibility of the party is the highest duty of all of us in order to keep our country on a path of stability, growth and perspective.
