Stefanos and Nikolas are looking for components for cooperation

Frixos Dalitis

The DIKO conference dropped the slogan for Nikolas Papadopoulos, but the road is still long. From the moment that the fireball observation of collaborations with the opposition parties remains a priority, with AKEL being first in the list of contacts, everything enters within the framework of the dialogue and the mutual “I want”. DIKO also knows that it is not enough for the party base of Nikola Papadopoulos to demand a candidate, but they should listen and see what the other side has to offer. And the fact so far is that in Hezekiah Papaioannou they prefer not to be one of the party leaders. Therefore, there should be alternatives and the burden of responsibility actually falls on them, from the moment that DIKO is expected to put the name of Nikolas Papadopoulos as the first name on the table.

In any case, what both sides are highlighting at this stage is the need to work together for a change of government. It is in this context that they want to build the co-operation effort, hoping that they will find the way to a successful outcome of the effort. Thorny issues, such as the Cyprus issue, are not currently at the center of the public debate agenda and this works well. At the same time, they can build a common ground on corruption and social policy. Of course, the issue of the candidate's name is perhaps the most difficult part of the equation, but once they have the will to work together, they can overcome the difficulties.

AKEL Secretary General Stefanos Stefanou was invited yesterday to comment on the conference decisions of DIKO, stating how the end of the DISY government and the election of a President and a government that have a progressive program that opens prospects for the place and the people, are the at stake in the upcoming presidential election.

Stefanos Stefanou was answering questions from journalists about AKEL's contacts with the opposition parties in the run-up to the presidential election, on the sidelines of yesterday's meeting with the Minister of Trade and Energy.

Asked whether the retention of the candidacy of DIKO president Nikola Papadopoulos in the foreground after the end of the party's recent congress affects AKEL's stance, Mr. Stefanou answered that the decision of the AKEL Central Committee to avoid the placement of of the parties in the discussion with DIKO, but also with other parties, in a possible cooperation.

As he stated, based on the informal meetings that preceded between the two parties, but also the general rhetoric and attitude, it is found that “DIKO also understands the need for change in the place, that there are too many deadlocks and that this governance. We consider that this common finding is also a solid basis on which we can base any discussions and any efforts to have some cooperation “.

Regarding the general position of AKEL, Mr. Stefanou stated that “we will seek meetings to monitor the ground, to see if we can cooperate with the opposition parties”, adding that “we want to have meetings with the Ecologists, EDEK and with DIPA “.

AKEL, he noted, “approaches the dialogue with the opposition parties on two levels: First, to discuss possible convergences that may occur in policy pillars that are important, and at the same time, at some point, if these discussions proceed. “Naturally, we will also discuss names, because without a candidate you do not hold presidential elections”.

Congratulations to Theopemptou

AKEL Secretary General Stefanos Stefanou sent a congratulatory letter to the President of the Ecologists' Movement, Charalambos Theopemptou, for his re-election to the leadership of the Movement. In his letter, Stefanos Stefanou, congratulates Charalambos Theopemptou for your re-election as the leader of the Ecologists' Movement. “AKEL expects the continuation of the fruitful and constructive cooperation we have had so far and its further strengthening, inside and outside Parliament,” he said. “We always look forward to an ongoing dialogue on all issues concerning the environment, Man, place.”

The state of ν Giannakides

In addition to the processes for the collaborations in AKEL, they raise the tone by hitting the Government, especially with issues that touch on issues of corruption. Yesterday, Hezekiah Papaioannou opened fire on the case of former Volunteer Commissioner Giannis Giannakis. “A party member of the Alarm with a forged diploma and non-existent diplomas was found appointed by the Government to a semi-state and later Volunteer Commissioner with a salary of 7 thousand euros per month. And when the fraud was uncovered, the police – quite by accident – moved at a snail's pace. “It took nine months for the police to be able to contact the American university, which finally never saw Mr. Giannakis,” the party said in a statement.

“The whole society demands that the perpetrator of this fraud be brought to justice and that every cent he receives be returned to the state coffers. But Alarm tries to cover him, since he is their own child and their own creation. Everyone should understand that in a possible third term of Alarm, the state of Giannakides will be fully consolidated, which will be paid by the Cypriot people. “And at the same time, thousands of young people in the country who were educated through hardship and deprivation, are in unemployment, underemployment, degrading wages”, he concludes.
