EDEK wants to become part of the discussions, both in the search for the candidate in the upcoming presidential elections and in the formulation of the pre-election program, which will be called to promote and implement this person.
For the time being, according to the president of the Social Democrat Movement, Marino Sizopoulos, who spoke today on the Control Panel show of Politis 107.6 and 97.6 and to Marilena Evangelou, there were no fire observations or invitations for meetings, except for a meeting with Ma. EDEK, he said, has launched open rallies with party members and friends since last week in all provinces, which will culminate in a nationwide one on March 13, which will essentially give the general directions to the leadership on how to handle the issue of presidential elections. “We will listen to the concerns of the members and friends of the party and possibly these concerns will help in shaping the final choices that the party will make,” he said characteristically.
Asked if a dialogue will start at the same time with others, besides the members and friends of EDEK until March 13, Mr. Sizopoulos said that if there are invitations to EDEK for meetings and exchange of views, “we are open to listen, before taking the our final decisions “.
In the report of his previous position, that EDEK will not come to “stick” to a pre-determined decision, but wants to be part of the discussions that will end, Mr. Sizopoulos replied: “Definitely”.
From the dialogue that is taking place or will take place between AKEL and DIKO, do you feel isolated, Mr. Sizopoulos was asked directly “No, it is not a matter of isolation, but if there will be a preliminary agreement – I can not know at what level – between the two parties, it is obvious that if they want EDEK to be involved, the dialogue must be repeated, on the basis of more specific directions. We do not forbid anyone to pre-negotiate, but then the dialogue should be done from the beginning “, he said, to conclude that” neither in person nor in a program that will end up some people will go to subscribe. The most important for us is on the one hand the program that is very important for us but also beyond that and the person who will be selected should have the guarantees and the good testimony from outside to be able to this program and to promote and promote it. implement “, pointed out Mr. Sizopoulos.
