Denouncing DIKO Party’s full identification with DISY-governent’s policies

Statement of Georgos Loucaides, AKEL C.C. Press Spokesman

AKEL C.C. Press Office, 30th April 2014, Nicosia

The Democratic Party has no right whatsoever to speak about an alleged “common course” between AKEL and the governing Democratic Rally DISY party. Those forces who ruled and governed with the Democratic Rally party until yesterday and elected Nikos Anastasiades to the Presidency of the Republic, those very forces who were in the government when it agreed to a disastrous haircut on bank deposits, those who even in the opposition totally identify with the neoliberal policies of the DISY party in favour of privatizations and rejected the protection of the primary family residence, those who as Siamese twins together with DISY gave cover and granted protection to the bankers and the former Governor of the Cyprus Central Bank Mr. Orphanides, have no right to attack AKEL.

Now, how we have managed to have a “common course” simultaneously with both DISY party and Mr. Lillikas can only be attributed to the petty- electioneering wishful thinking of the Democratic Party.
