At present, he has not clarified his intentions , while his positions on the various issues are not known either, apart from the handling of the Cyprus issue, since he himself, at least publicly, has not distanced himself, and could not, from Anastasiadis politics.
At DIKO, they are aware that the consultation with AKEL will be tough, but no one knows for sure the direction that the dialogue will take. It should be noted, however, that the team under reinforcement within DIKO – which is beginning to form an opinion in favor of Christodoulidis – these executives, therefore, argue that such a move may create conditions for meeting with their former competitors in the field of DIPA-Cooperation. The same executives are now declaring that they have never welcomed the split in the Center area and are convinced that a serious rapprochement will be created, in a possible electoral cooperation without weights and dependencies.
Many more episodes
The internal party debates, of course, mainly in the parties that are still looking for their involvement in the electoral process, are expected to have many episodes and go through various stages. This current political and party reality does not give any faction the comfort to finally formulate its positions and attitude. This fluid image has to be opposed by the opposition parties, which are looking for either collaborations that will give the common person, or the appropriate person who will give the necessary collaborations. At present, they have a list of names for which they do not find a common component and this leads them, AKEL mainly, to search for other names, to put them in the emerging discussion which will begin with DIKO. The whole scene is expected to be illuminated when the institutional dialogue between the two parties begins.
