The Metropolitan of Paphos Georgios referred to his vision at the gathering organized on Sunday by the Coordinating Committee to Support his candidacy, at the Cultural Center of the Municipality of Poli Chrysochous.
The Metropolitan of Paphos George said that the Church is the refuge of those in need. He also announced that he will support young couples so that they can fight low birth rates and have a third and fourth child, but also that he will stand by the Ecumenical Patriarchate.
We will, he continued, "have a voice in the national issue, and we will stand by the government in efforts to limit the wave of illegal immigrants" noting at the same time that he "will set up a special department in the Archdiocese to be able to deal with the new dilemmas arising from the life sciences and biotechnology".
Besides, the Mayor of Polis Chrysochous Yotis Papachristofis, who attended the gathering, mentioned that the Metropolitan of Paphos as a district of Polis Chrysochous had been known much more as the Bishop of Arsinois and subsequently as the Metropolitan of Paphos. We consider, he said, "that he is the only one of the candidates who has always expressed himself on various issues of the Church as well as of the State".
He was the only one, continued the Mayor of Polis Chrysochous, who spoke and continues to speak about our national issues, immigration, the low birth rate but also for young people. Mr. Papachristofis also assessed that the Metropolitan of Paphos will be worthy of his predecessor, the blessed Archbishop Chrysostomos of B’, who accomplished a great work and called on the world to support him.
They also spoke at the gathering the Member of Parliament of the EDEK Ilias Myrianthous and the former Director of Secondary Education Xenia Tzanavarou.
