Two months before the parliamentary elections, the pre-election scene has really caught fire, with criticism from the opposition following one another on a daily basis. The President of the Republic does not escape the fire either personally, as AKEL, DIKO and the Ecologists' Movement continue to call on him to take responsibility for what is happening.
Parliamentary elections may be about the legislature (House of Representatives), but inevitably government ministers now take on a pre-election role in defending their work against criticism, in an effort not to lose further ground in public opinion. The polls still present DISY as the first party, while at the same time it is whispered that the opposition cannot capitalize on the government's damage in the run-up to the elections, however no one is resting in Pindarou. After all, the fact that the opposition parties insist on strong criticism gives the impression that they have indications that this tactic is gradually gaining ground among the citizens.
The argument that the government and DISY put their backs on the economy to stand on its own two feet after the financial crisis of 2013, may have been enough for the re-election of Nikos Anastasiadis in 2018, but now the daily criticism of the government camp leaves no room for such arguments. . At the ministerial level, Prodromos Prodromou, Konstantinos Petridis, Emily Giolitis and Nikos Nouris are gathering a lot of negative fire. In an ideal scenario, DISY expects a positive course of the pandemic in order to remove as many restrictions as possible, while at the same time they hope for a moderately positive outcome in the Cyprus issue in view of the parliamentary elections.
