We have the vision, we have the plan, we have the people to implement the requests and expectations of the many, said the candidate for President of the Republic Andreas Mavroyiannis in his greeting at the meeting of AKEL Famagusta, in Deryneia.
“In these elections, each and every one of us is called to answer a single basic question: Do we want things to change or do we want to continue on the same path with the same policies and with the same people,” he said, referring to two realities, "the one we all live" and "the virtual that the rulers want to present".
Mr. Mavroyiannis stated that "the Cypriot issue has been stagnant for more than five years. The divide is gaining ground day by day. The name of Cyprus has been dragged internationally by a series of scandals in which the current administration is the protagonist. Corruption and entanglement spread tentacles, governmental tentacles.
Continuing, he said that "it is a mockery of Cypriot society that Mr. Christodoulidis claims today that corruption is something permanent but also indefinite", adding that " “No matter how much the followers of Mr. Anastasiades want to hide it, corruption grew during their days because they were the first to inflate it, tolerate it and still cover it up”.
