The Democratic Alarm is launching an attack against the President of the Republic, Nikos Christodoulides, in a new statement.
“He chose the setting of a memorial event to confirm, once again, that he is unable to respond to political criticism calmly and rationally. At the very same time that he himself has repeatedly (and with obvious exaggeration and ulterior motives) questioned what distinguishes his policies from those of DISY, yesterday he did not hesitate to attempt, in an offensive manner, to equate DISY with AKEL.”

President Christodoulides appeared particularly vehement last night in his statements following the conclusion of the memorial and tribute event for Tassos Isaac and Solomos Solomou, in Paralimni, in light of the political “storm” that erupted over appointments to parastatal organizations and the role of the Advisory Council. He did not fail to respond specifically to DISY and AKEL, noting that the statements issued by both parties are identical and that the two parties have entered into an election campaign.

The full text of DISY’s statement:
The President of the Republic chose the setting of a memorial event to confirm, once again, that he is unable to respond to political criticism in a calm and level-headed manner.
Instead of respecting both the venue where he was speaking and the office he holds, he chose to make unacceptable, offensive, and highly divisive remarks.
At the very same time that he himself has repeatedly (and with obvious exaggeration and ulterior motives) questioned what distinguishes his policies from those of DISY, yesterday he did not hesitate to attempt, in an offensive manner, to equate DISY with AKEL.
The Democratic Rally has on many occasions provided decisive support for specific government policies, a fact that even the coalition partner DIKO has repeatedly acknowledged.
And it will continue to do so whenever it deems that a policy serves the interests of the country and its citizens.
Under no circumstances, however, will it relinquish either its right or its obligation to offer well-founded criticism where such criticism is warranted.
