Sizopoulos's most serious accusations for dissidents: They are fighting EDEK for serving other people's interests

As an insurmountable need, “after the unacceptable behavior of some executives and members of the party, most of whom in recent years were not only distanced but also in the last parliamentary elections fought EDEK”, described the convening of today's congress of Social Democrats, Marinos Sizopoulos.

The main reason for the extremely negative situation in the movement is “the constant legal appeals by a small number of party members and executives, whose goal is to paralyze and discredit & # 8230; “Their behavior is the result of serving expediencies and personal and/or other interests”, according to Mr. Sizopoulos.

In his speech at the 14th Pancyprian Congress of EDEK, Mr. Sizopoulos spoke about “an immoral war with complaints to the Police, recourse to the Courts and an attempt to annul the unanimous, transparent and democratic decisions of the CoE. of the 30th of June “for the convening of the 14th Ordinary and Electoral Pancyprian Congress, attributed to the dissidents with his manipulations personal or other interests and spoke about some who are in the foreground and some who move the threads from the background, as he said unleashed very serious categories:

“On the basis of unshakable evidence, some people are annoyed because

• We have renounced the ICC, of ​​which they were devotees, others hidden and others overt.
• We have reduced the terms of office and state positions and they lost financial benefits and the ability to use their position for rusfetological services for their own benefit.
• By transferring real estate in the name of the party, they either lost the opportunity to appropriate them in the long run, or lost income. li>
• At the altar of personal interests they sacrifice the Party and consequently our homeland. All those who were favored because of the Party, where are they today? “If it were not for EDEK, what would be their course and what would be their recognition?”, He wondered.

Elsewhere in his speech, Mr. Sizopoulos stated:

< ul>

The current leadership of the Party with all its mistakes and omissions has always been before you, presenting its positions and views, to accept your bona fide criticism and suggestions in an effort to improve even more for the benefit of EDEK and our country. .

Those who drag the Party to the Police and the Courts? Why are they absent? Why do they avoid democratic dialogue and controversy?

Our avoidance of public controversy is neither a weakness, nor guilt or complicity. It is a responsibility. Let them not take this attitude of ours as a weakness. Tolerance, endurance, patience and responsibility have limits.

Deprived of political arguments, some resort to falsehoods to deceive members and friends of the Party. It is no coincidence that they have never presented a single presumption to support their position in what they are spreading untruthfully.

Today, the announcement of the President of EDEK and 35 members of the Central Committee of K. is expected. Σ. EDEK will hold elections tomorrow to elect the other officials of the movement.
